About the artist:
Yamila Velázquez (Las Tunas, Cuba, 1993) is a contemporary artist who uses digital intelligence tools, currently living and working in Alicante, Spain. Owner and partner of a company dedicated to the sale, representation, and development of artists and artworks, Velázquez combines her business vision with deep artistic sensitivity.
This young Cuban talent has established herself in the digital art field, using contemporary media to explore themes related to nature, landscape, and the intimate relationship between a woman and her environment. Her works subtly and powerfully address topics such as beauty, love, sensuality, and feminine delicacy, always set within enveloping, romantic, and refined atmospheres.
With a vibrant and expressive aesthetic, Yamila Velázquez manages to fuse classical influences with a modern language, producing versatile, fresh, and deeply evocative works. The painterly texture of her images, the masterful use of color, and the emotionally balanced composition position her work as a current artistic proposal of high aesthetic value.

In this piece, the intersection between Baroque opulence and zen aesthetics reaches its peak. The portrait presents a female figure whose identity is veiled by a blue Morpho butterfly, a universal symbol of transformation and the fleeting nature of the psyche. The technical execution stands out for the treatment of light on the golden reliefs of the dress, which seem to emerge from the shadow like a liquid golden armor.

What elevates this work to an expert level is the subtle way in which Kintsugi is integrated. We do not see obvious cracks, but rather a total reconstruction of the self through gold. The high, ornate collar acts as a supporting structure that maintains the figure’s dignity, suggesting that the “repair” has transformed trauma into a high-fashion jewel. The contrast between the vibrant blue of the wings and the dark, shadowy background creates a visual tension that compels the viewer to question what lies behind the mask: a wound or a new life?
