AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
In this work, José Manuel Mayo proposes an intimate, contemporary approach to the expanded self-portrait, where the figure is not only observed but establishes a direct relationship with the viewer. The composition, built from a frontal and slightly distorted viewpoint, alludes to the visual language of autofotography, but it is elevated here through a rigorous pictorial treatment and a sophisticated understanding of light underwater.
The face, partially hidden behind the diving mask, acts as the psychological nucleus of the piece. The gaze, filtered through the glass and the ripples of the surface, takes on an introspective quality that contrasts with the gestural openness of the arms, extended toward the viewer as an invitation or capture of the moment.
The real protagonism lies in the light interaction: underwater refractions unfold over the skin in fragmented patterns that vibrate between the descriptive and the abstract. Mayo achieves here a complex balance between technical control and visual spontaneity, where each stroke suggests the constant movement of the water without losing structural solidity.
The upper surface, with its distorted reflections, introduces a second reality that dialogues with the submerged figure, establishing an ambiguous boundary between two worlds: air and water, consciousness and immediate sensory experience. This “threshold” becomes the conceptual axis of the work.
“Threshold of Immersion” is a notably contemporary piece that connects with today’s visual culture without sacrificing pictorial depth. Its combination of refined technique, immersive composition, and emotional charge positions it as a work highly attractive to collectors interested in current figurative art with emphasis on perception, identity, and experience.
The work is carefully shipped protected in a transport tube to ensure 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 proposes an intimate, contemporary approach to the expanded self-portrait, where the figure is not only observed but establishes a direct relationship with the viewer. The composition, built from a frontal and slightly distorted viewpoint, alludes to the visual language of autofotography, but it is elevated here through a rigorous pictorial treatment and a sophisticated understanding of light underwater.
The face, partially hidden behind the diving mask, acts as the psychological nucleus of the piece. The gaze, filtered through the glass and the ripples of the surface, takes on an introspective quality that contrasts with the gestural openness of the arms, extended toward the viewer as an invitation or capture of the moment.
The real protagonism lies in the light interaction: underwater refractions unfold over the skin in fragmented patterns that vibrate between the descriptive and the abstract. Mayo achieves here a complex balance between technical control and visual spontaneity, where each stroke suggests the constant movement of the water without losing structural solidity.
The upper surface, with its distorted reflections, introduces a second reality that dialogues with the submerged figure, establishing an ambiguous boundary between two worlds: air and water, consciousness and immediate sensory experience. This “threshold” becomes the conceptual axis of the work.
“Threshold of Immersion” is a notably contemporary piece that connects with today’s visual culture without sacrificing pictorial depth. Its combination of refined technique, immersive composition, and emotional charge positions it as a work highly attractive to collectors interested in current figurative art with emphasis on perception, identity, and experience.
The work is carefully shipped protected in a transport tube to ensure 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.
