Alejandro Carballosa - “Fluir”

Oil on canvas
Measurents: 57 x 47cm

A scene that captures something more than a figure underwater: it conveys a sense of absolute freedom, detachment, and calm in an environment where time seems to stand still.
The swimmer moves suspended between lights and reflections, wrapped in a palette of vibrant blues that evoke depth and serenity. The green and warm tones provide contrast and life, guiding the gaze through the composition and reinforcing the sense of fluid movement.
The natural distortion of the water adds an almost dreamlike character, making the figure appear to float between two worlds: the real and the sensory. It is a work that functions on both aesthetic and emotional levels, ideal for spaces seeking to convey calm, openness, and modernity.
A piece particularly attractive to contemporary art collectors and lovers of aquatic themes, with strong visual presence and the ability to capture attention in any setting.

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.
Trained 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
