Description from the seller
Jose Cabrera
Presence, 2026
Oil on canvas, 65 × 42 cm
Signed (lower left)
Includes certificate of authenticity issued and signed by the artist
In “Presence,” Jose Cabrera reduces the image to the essential: the head of a chestnut horse emerging powerfully from the darkness. There are no distractions. Only the animal, its gaze, and the light that models its face with an almost sculptural precision.
The work conveys a quietude charged with energy. The horse does not pose. It simply exists. Its dark, deep, serene eye seems to observe the viewer with ancient, calm intelligence. Every detail of the coat—the textures, reflections, color variations—is worked with mastery that reveals both the artist’s technical knowledge and his deep respect for the subject.
The completely black background isolates and monumentalizes the figure. This compositional choice is not decorative: it is conceptual. Cabrera eliminates all extraneous elements so that only the essence of the animal remains: its dignity, its contained strength, and its almost human presence. The bridle, with its metallic details, adds a touch of elegance and realism, but never takes away the horse’s protagonism.
“Presence” is not just an equestrian portrait. It is a study of gaze and existence. The horse seems to hold in its expression a silent story, a tranquil wisdom that does not need to prove itself. It is a work that invites slow contemplation, to stop before it and hold the animal’s gaze.
This painting possesses a serene and magnetic force. Its vertical format and pared-down composition make it a piece of great visual and emotional impact, ideal for spaces where presence without overt noise is sought.
A work of high technical quality and deep symbolic charge, intended for collectors who value elegance, sensitive realism, and the capacity of an image to transmit character and soul.

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.
