Alejandro Carballosa - “Perfil con bridas”

Oil on canvas
Measurements: 57 x 59 cm

Description
Portrait of a chestnut horse shown in profile, with special attention to anatomy, light, and the textures of the coat. The work stands out for the contrast between the dark background and the warm tones of the animal, which adds depth and directs the gaze toward the horse's serene expression.
The use of soft lights highlights the volumes of the neck and head, while the bridle introduces a structural element that balances the composition. This is a realist piece intended to convey elegance and calm without artifice.
Suitable for lovers of figurative art, equestrian themes, or classical/contemporary decoration.

Alejandro Carballosa, visual artist and Cuban designer residing in Spain, with a career marked by the exploration of strength, emotion, and beauty in the animal and human figure. His work combines technical realism with a contemporary vision, where color, light, and movement acquire a symbolic and expressive language.
Formed in visual arts and design, he integrates the aesthetic sensibility of classical art with modern resources, creating pieces that balance energy and introspection.
His work has been shown in group and solo exhibitions, and is part of private collections in Germany and the United States
