About the artist:
Yamila Velázquez (Las Tunas, Cuba, 1993) is a contemporary artist who uses digital intelligence tools. She currently lives and works in Alicante, Spain. Owner and partner of a company dedicated to the sale, representation, and development of artists and artworks, Velázquez combines her business vision with a deep artistic sensitivity.
This young Cuban talent has established himself in the field of digital art, using contemporary media to explore themes related to nature, landscape, and the intimate relationship between women and their environment. His works subtly and visually powerfully address topics such as beauty, love, sensuality, and feminine delicacy, always set within immersive, romantic, and refined atmospheres.
With a vibrant and expressive aesthetic, Yamila Velázquez manages to blend classical influences with a modern language, resulting in versatile, fresh, and deeply evocative works. The pictorial texture of her images, the masterful use of color, and the emotionally balanced composition position her work as a current artistic proposal of high aesthetic value.

This work captures a Formula 1 monoplane from the classic era (possibly late 1960s or early 1970s), elevating it from a racing machine to a historic relic through an impressive application of the Kintsugi concept. The vehicle's bodywork, instead of simply being cracked and repaired with gold, is entirely wrapped in an ornate, golden arabesque, simulating the most elaborate and opulent form of the Kintsukuroi technique.

The artist interprets the golden surface as the sum of countless 'repairs': not only physical ones but also the conceptual repair of the inherent fragility of high-risk races of that era. Each golden filigree covering the body of the red and white car evokes the memory of every moment of danger, every mechanical breakage, and every structural scar that contributed to the legend of this machine.

The contrast with the more modern and darker forms of the single-seaters in the background emphasizes the timelessness and solid historical presence of the central figure. The golden wheels and exposed engine, also covered with this metallic opulence, turn the object into a tribute to resilient engineering. This piece is a meditation on how the past of racing, marked by vulnerability, becomes a symbol of identity and unwavering strength, celebrating the beauty of imperfection and endurance.
