Description from the seller
JOSE MANUEL MAYO PEÑA
- Born in Las Tunas, Las Tunas Province, Cuba (1976)
- Graduated in 1997 in the drawing and painting specialty at the Escuela Profesional de Artes Plásticas in Las Tunas.
In Estructura en Combustión, José Manuel Mayo Peña develops an abstract composition of great visual intensity, executed in oil on canvas. The work articulates a dynamic tension between gesture, matter, and color, creating a balance between spontaneity and conscious construction.
The palette, dominated by incendiary reds, vibrant oranges, and deep black contrasts, is crossed by planes of white and yellow that introduce breath and compositional direction. The use of splashes, glazes, and brush drags reveals a free but structured painting practice, where each layer dialogues with the previous.
The clear horizontal plane crossing the surface acts as a stabilizing axis against the organic movement of the background, generating an architectural reading within the apparent gestural chaos. This duality between impulse and control is one of the piece’s main values.
The work sits within the language of contemporary gestural abstraction, with implicit references to action painting and modern material painting, yet maintaining a distinctive identity marked by its chromatic vibrancy.
Ideal for collectors of abstract art, contemporary interiors, and spaces seeking a protagonist piece with great visual energy. Its chromatic impact and balanced composition make it a highly competitive work in an auction context.

Technique: Oil on canvas
Style: Contemporary gestural abstraction

Seller's Story
Cuban Art Circle is an international group of approximately 20 artists, founded and represented by painter Cristian Mesa Velázquez.
United by a deep passion for painting and a serious commitment to artistic excellence, the members of the collective work from different parts of the world. While each artist maintains their own personal voice, all share a rigorous technical approach and absolute dedication to the pictorial medium.
Oil on canvas is the predominant technique, although other methods are explored to enrich the group’s visual language. The works are characterized by high standards of execution, exceptional care in the treatment of light, color, and texture, and a remarkable ability to convey emotion and depth through figure, symbol, and atmosphere.
The collective represents artists committed to high-level contemporary painting, where technical mastery is combined with a personal and contemporary vision. Their works have been presented at major international art fairs in Europe and are part of private collections across several continents.
Cuban Art Circle is a serious and professional platform dedicated to promoting superior quality painting, created to connect demanding artists with collectors who value rigor, passion, and pictorial excellence.

Seller's Story
Cuban Art Circle is an international group of approximately 20 artists, founded and represented by painter Cristian Mesa Velázquez.
United by a deep passion for painting and a serious commitment to artistic excellence, the members of the collective work from different parts of the world. While each artist maintains their own personal voice, all share a rigorous technical approach and absolute dedication to the pictorial medium.
Oil on canvas is the predominant technique, although other methods are explored to enrich the group’s visual language. The works are characterized by high standards of execution, exceptional care in the treatment of light, color, and texture, and a remarkable ability to convey emotion and depth through figure, symbol, and atmosphere.
The collective represents artists committed to high-level contemporary painting, where technical mastery is combined with a personal and contemporary vision. Their works have been presented at major international art fairs in Europe and are part of private collections across several continents.
Cuban Art Circle is a serious and professional platform dedicated to promoting superior quality painting, created to connect demanding artists with collectors who value rigor, passion, and pictorial excellence.
