Yuniesky R. P is a young artist with solid professional training who currently lives and works in Havana, Cuba. His work is distinguished by a very personal pictorial language, developed almost exclusively through the use of the spatula, a tool with which he builds compositions of great visual strength and marked expressiveness.

His painting is characterized by rich impasto, loose brushwork, and an intensely colorful palette, where light and movement constantly engage in dialogue. In his impressionist treatment, there is a clear influence from Joaquín Sorolla, especially in the way he approaches luminosity, dynamism, and the vibration of color, always from a contemporary and deeply personal perspective.

The themes he approaches arise from an emotional connection with nature and the landscape: marine scenes, sailboats, fauna, flowers, and evocative cities form a pictorial universe filled with nostalgia and admiration for classical art. His works do not seek literal description, but the evocation of sensations, stirring in the viewer intense feelings and latent memories.

Yuni’s paintings have a frontal and enveloping presence; they are works that must be viewed in person, as photography cannot fully capture the richness of the impasto, the depth of color, or the energy of the painterly gesture. The spatula allows him to build vibrant surfaces, with layers of paint that convey solidity, movement, and an almost tactile expressiveness. His work is, in essence, a celebration of color, matter, and emotion: a painting that invites pause, observation, and feeling.

This work is part of a contemporary impressionism with a genre-pictorial (costumbrista) bent, where oil is used to highlight the contrast between interior shadow and the dazzling luminosity of the exterior. The use of the spatula is evident in the architecture of the village in the background and in the blue shutters, achieving a rough texture that evokes aged wood and sea spray. The palette is masterfully balanced: the intense blues (cobalt and cerulean) of the shutters and the sea act as a cold frame that makes the warm yellows of the flowers and the ochre façades stand out. The painter aims to convey a sense of protective enclosure against the infinite freedom of the sea, inviting the viewer to occupy the place of the invisible observer who contemplates the peace of a harbor on a clear morning, capturing a moment of stillness and idyllic beauty.
