Maldonado's work depicts abstractions of nature. His ancestral roots are also evident in some of his works based on Pre-Colombian imagery from his native Andean zone. At the same time, he is interested in the palpitation of the evolving Universe.

Vladimir Tatlin founded Constructivism in Russia in 1913. Influenced by Futurism and Cubism, this movement is based on abstract, geometric forms and is related to architectural ideas. The Constructivist Movement made its way into Latin America by way of Joaquin Torres Garcia and Manuel Rendón. Constructive Universalism is an innovative style created by Joaquín Torres García who after living in Europe for over forty years, returned to his native land, Uruguay and brought with him new artistic concepts. Constructive Universalism combines references to the Pre-Colombian world with the geometric forms of European Constructivism. Image File history File links EstructuraNo1_1978. ...
