Alejandro Carballosa - “Azul”

Oil on canvas
Dimensions: 58 x 47 cm
Description

Contemporary work with a strong visual impact that reinterprets the equestrian figure through color. The horse, depicted in intense blue tones, contrasts decisively with a vibrant red background, generating a composition filled with energy and tension.

The piece moves away from traditional realism to focus on the chromatic dialogue and the expressiveness of form. The animal's anatomy is built through lights and shadows in blue, providing volume and dynamism, while the textured background adds depth and character to the work.

The horse's posture, with its head tilted, introduces a sense of introspection that balances the strength of the chromatic contrast. This duality between visual intensity and gestural calm makes the piece modern, elegant, and with a strong presence.

Ideal for collectors and lovers of contemporary art seeking works with personality, color, and the ability to transform a space.

Alejandro Carballosa, Cuban artist and designer, resident in Spain, with a career marked by exploring 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 integrates the aesthetic sensibility of classical art with modern resources, creating pieces that balance energy and introspection.
His work has been presented in group and individual exhibitions, and is part of private collections in Germany and the United States
