AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
In this work, José Manuel Mayo elevates the representation of the body in the aquatic environment to a nearly transcendent realm, where the figure is no longer merely anatomical but becomes a vehicle for sensory experience and absolute release. The composition, built from a low, dynamic angle, captures the moment when the body arches in suspension, completely surrendered to the water’s fluidity.
The handling of light is particularly outstanding: the aquatic refractions project onto the skin as organic strokes that model the figure with an almost sculptural intensity. These luminous lines not only describe volume, but imprint a vibrant energy that runs through the body, heightening the tension between physical strength and emotional surrender.
The fragmentation of the face—hidden behind a burst of bubbles—eliminates the subject’s concrete identity, universalizing the experience. This device reinforces the work’s conceptual reading: we do not observe a person, but a state. An instant of suspension where gravity, control, and thought dissolve.
The contrast between the deep blue and the warm glints on the surface creates a spatial duality that suggests movement: between air and water, between consciousness and release, between the tangible and the fleeting. Mayo shows here a refined understanding of acrylic as a medium capable of simultaneously capturing technical precision and visceral emotion.
“Immersed Ecstasy” positions itself as a piece of high visual impact and poetic charge, particularly attractive to collectors who value contemporary figuration with mastery of light, movement, and implicit narrative.
The work is carefully shipped protected in a transport tube to guarantee its optimal preservation.

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.
Translated by Google TranslateIn this work, José Manuel Mayo elevates the representation of the body in the aquatic environment to a nearly transcendent realm, where the figure is no longer merely anatomical but becomes a vehicle for sensory experience and absolute release. The composition, built from a low, dynamic angle, captures the moment when the body arches in suspension, completely surrendered to the water’s fluidity.
The handling of light is particularly outstanding: the aquatic refractions project onto the skin as organic strokes that model the figure with an almost sculptural intensity. These luminous lines not only describe volume, but imprint a vibrant energy that runs through the body, heightening the tension between physical strength and emotional surrender.
The fragmentation of the face—hidden behind a burst of bubbles—eliminates the subject’s concrete identity, universalizing the experience. This device reinforces the work’s conceptual reading: we do not observe a person, but a state. An instant of suspension where gravity, control, and thought dissolve.
The contrast between the deep blue and the warm glints on the surface creates a spatial duality that suggests movement: between air and water, between consciousness and release, between the tangible and the fleeting. Mayo shows here a refined understanding of acrylic as a medium capable of simultaneously capturing technical precision and visceral emotion.
“Immersed Ecstasy” positions itself as a piece of high visual impact and poetic charge, particularly attractive to collectors who value contemporary figuration with mastery of light, movement, and implicit narrative.

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.
