Alejandro Carballosa - “Elegancia”

Oil on canvas
Measurements: 56 x 47 cm
Description

Impressive work that depicts a horse in the foreground, highlighting its elegance, strength, and nobility. The composition sensitively captures the animal's anatomical details as well as the intensity of its gaze, conveying a sense of life and movement.
The use of warm tones — dominated by ochres, oranges and reddish hues — contrasts harmoniously with a dark background, helping to highlight the horse’s figure and add depth to the scene. The careful and expressive brushwork adds texture and dynamism, making this piece visually striking.
It is an ideal work for lovers of figurative art and the equestrian world, perfect for both collectors and interior decoration with character.

Alejandro Carballosa, a Cuban visual artist and 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.
