Ernest - La Nadadora hacia la Luz

Ernesto is a young Cuban artist with formal training, born in the city of Manzanillo, in eastern Cuba, and currently resident and active in Havana. His work develops from a sensitive and contemporary perspective, with a clear projection within the current art scene.

In the last year, his work has focused on a pictorial investigation around water, the sea, and the intimate relationship of the human being with the marine nature. His paintings evoke scenes of beaches, rivers and aquatic spaces, where the human figures interact naturally with the environment, generating images filled with calm, movement and contemplation.

Painted in oil on canvas, his works stand out for a notable visual strength and a refined command of light, especially in the way it penetrates the water, reflects on the skin and accompanies the liquid movement of the surroundings. The aquatic effects and transparencies are treated with sensitivity and precision, contributing depth and an enveloping atmosphere to each composition.

Ernesto has participated in several solo and group exhibitions in Havana and Manzanillo, and his work has also been shown outside the Cuban sphere. Currently, his pieces are part of private collections in Spain, France, Germany, the Netherlands and the United States, consolidating a growing international projection.

This oil on canvas work is a masterful study of movement and luminosity, executed with a technique that fuses figurative realism with atmospheric abstraction. The painter uses an ascending vertical composition to guide the gaze through the wake of bubbles and foam, represented with bold white and light-blue brushstrokes that contrast with the depth of ultramarine blue. The female figure becomes a receiver of light, where warm and ocher tones of the skin seem to glow under the water, conveying a sense of vitality, purification and transcendence. The artist’s intention seems to be to capture the energy of physical impulse and the absolute freedom of the body in a weightless environment, transforming a daily act into a visual experience that is almost spiritual and full of dynamism.
