Osvaldo Ferrer (XX) - Frida

Description: A powerful original charcoal portrait titled “Frida” by contemporary Cuban artist Osvaldo Ferrer Miranda (b. 1989), currently based in Miami, USA. Specializing in portraiture and realism, Ferrer is known for his ability to capture psychological depth through masterful tonal control and expressive mark-making. In this work, he portrays the iconic intensity of Frida Kahlo with dramatic contrasts and refined detail. The face is rendered with meticulous realism, while the headdress transitions into freer, expressive charcoal strokes — creating a dynamic tension between control and movement. This interplay results in a classical yet timeless atmosphere, balancing strength and vulnerability. Artist’s Note: “This portrait captures the iconic intensity of Frida Kahlo. Through dramatic use of charcoal, I aimed to emphasize the psychological strength of the character, combining detailed realism in the face with looser, expressive lines in the headdress, creating a classical and timeless atmosphere.” Technical Details: Medium: Original charcoal drawing Support: Acid-free cotton paper Year: 2025 Dimensions artwork: 61 × 45.7 cm Dimensions frame: 75 × 60 cm (width 14mm, depth 22mm) Unique work (not a print or reproduction) Hand-signed by the artist in the lower right corner Condition: Excellent, impeccable condition. The work has been professionally fixed to preserve the charcoal and prevent smudging. Provenance: Acquired directly from the artist Certificate of Authenticity (COA) included and signed Framing: Currently presented in a museum-quality 75 × 60 cm dark smoked oak frame with UV70 museum glass and thick archival passe-partout. The framing was carefully selected to elevate the work to gallery standards.
