Alejandro Carballosa - “Fluir”

Oil on canvas
Dimensions: 57 x 47 cm

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 advances suspended between lights and reflections, wrapped in a palette of vibrant blues that evoke depth and serenity. Green and warm hues provide contrast and life, guiding the eye through the composition and reinforcing the feeling 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 works on both aesthetic and emotional levels, ideal for spaces where the aim is to convey calm, openness, and modernity.
An especially appealing piece for collectors of contemporary art and lovers of aquatic themes, with strong visual presence and the ability to attract attention in any setting.

Alejandro Carballosa, visual artist and Cuban designer resident 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 merges the aesthetic sensitivity of classical art with modern resources, creating pieces that balance energy and introspection.
His work has been shown in solo and group exhibitions and is part of private collections in Germany and the United States.
