Description from the seller
In this untitled work, Juan Antonio Espinosa unfolds a poetics of the body where the female figure becomes a territory of tension between intimacy and affirmation. The nude, far from any complacency, is presented as an act of presence: a body that is not offered, but affirmed from its own consciousness. The pose — contained, turned toward itself — suggests a private moment, almost suspended, in which vulnerability is transformed into a silent power.
The dialogue between the figure and the abstract background is essential. The gestural layers, the chromatic breaks, and the fragmented textures do not function as mere surroundings, but as an emotional extension of the character. Color intrudes, tears through, and surrounds the anatomy, underscoring the tension between the figurative and the expressive, between flesh and pictorial memory. Espinosa demonstrates here a solid mastery of oil painting, combining a sensual treatment of the skin with a raw and contemporary gesturality that places the work in a fully current language.
This piece speaks directly to the viewer and, by extension, to the collector: it is not an image that exhausts itself at first glance, but a work that grows in presence, that transforms the space where it is installed and establishes an intimate relationship with the one who inhabits it. It is a painting designed to be lived with daily, to accompany, provoke and endure.
A work of this nature not only enriches a collection; it defines it. It represents an exceptional opportunity to add to your patrimony a piece with strong aesthetic and emotional charge, signed by a Cuban artist with a clear and decisive voice within contemporary painting.
Certificates of authenticity will be sent along with the artwork only in sales exceeding 500 euros.
