Lisbet Cuellar (XX) - El Gesto Silencioso

Oil on canvas
Measurements: 64 x 52 cm

Description:
This work presents a contemporary portrait of great aesthetic sensitivity. The central figure, in profile and with an introspective expression, discreetly holds a bouquet of flowers behind her back. The gesture, subtle and laden with symbolism, conveys a mixture of vulnerability, mystery, and emotional restraint.

The composition is notable for the contrast between the turquoise background—soft yet vibrant—and the character's dark clothing, creating an almost cinematic atmosphere of stillness. The delicate and realistic treatment of light on the face adds a poetic touch that intensifies the feeling of intimacy.

The style combines figurative elements with a harmonious palette and a painterly finish that enhances the overall expressiveness. It is an ideal piece for contemporary art collectors who appreciate evocative portraits rich in symbolism.
