Yuni 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 strokes, and an intensely colorful palette, where light and movement constantly dialogue. In his impressionist treatment, there is a clear influence of Joaquín Sorolla, especially in the way he approaches luminosity, dynamism, and the vibrancy of color, always from a contemporary and deeply personal perspective.

The themes he tackles arise from an emotional connection with nature and landscape: marine scenes, sailboats, fauna, flowers, and evocative cities form a pictorial universe charged with nostalgia and admiration for classical art. His works do not seek literal description, but the evocation of sensations, awakening 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, at its essence, a celebration of color, matter, and emotion: a painting that invites stopping, looking, and feeling.

This work is a masterful exponent of romantic impressionism with a strong expressive character, capturing the essence of Venice not through detail but through light. Executed in oil, the technique is notable for vigorous use of the spatula and impasto, creating a tactile surface where the painting seems to vibrate, especially in the reflections of the water that merge with the sunset light. The color palette is warm and almost monochromatic at its core, using a gradation of cadmium yellows, oranges, and earth tones that envelop the architecture in an ethereal glow. The painter seeks to convey a sense of nostalgia and timelessness; the solitary gondolier navigating toward the heart of the light symbolizes an introspective journey, where the city is not merely a backdrop but a reflection of the serene and melancholic spirit that defines the Serenissima at the end of the day.
