Description from the seller
Oil on canvas
Measurements: 58 x 48cm
Contemporary figurative work that precisely captures the exact moment of entering the water after a jump. The composition focuses on the cleanliness of the gesture, where the body aligns in a perfect diagonal, conveying control, technique and absolute concentration.
The treatment of color is especially notable: a rich range of blues and greens builds a vibrant and deep aquatic background, while the figure, illuminated with warm tones, emerges with strength and contrast. The splashes and water distortion add dynamism, reinforcing the sensation of movement frozen in time.
The work balances realism and synthesis, highlighting the anatomy without falling into excessive descriptiveness. More than representing a sport, the painting turns the gesture into a visual language of precision, discipline and formal beauty.
Piece ideal for collectors of contemporary art who value the human figure, movement and the clean composition with high visual impact.
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 collective and solo exhibitions, and is part of private collections in Germany and the United States
