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 entrepreneurial vision with a deep artistic sensitivity.
This young Cuban talent has established herself in the field of digital art, using contemporary media to explore themes related to nature, landscape and the intimate relationship between woman and her environment. Her works address with subtlety and strong visual impact themes such as beauty, love, sensuality and feminine delicacy, always framed in enveloping, romantic and refined atmospheres.
With a vibrant and expressive aesthetic, Yamila Velázquez manages to fuse classical influences with a modern language, resulting in 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.

The magnificent work presented offers a sublime reinterpretation of the classical myth of Icarus, blending the drama of classical sculpture with the deep philosophical load of Kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing fractures with gold to honor the object's history. The torso and face of Icarus, shaped with an impeccable texture that evokes fine porcelain, are crisscrossed by an intricate and delicate network of cracks joined with burnished gold, poetically symbolizing wounds and resilience after his mythical fall from the sky. This structural fragility is masterfully balanced with the introduction of rich organic cobalt-blue patterns—finishing his arm and shoulder in the style of Talavera pottery or Delft porcelain—and majestic wings detailed with aureate feathers and ceramic textures. By transforming the scars of destruction into the main ornament of the piece, the work not only elevates the concept of pain transmuted into timeless beauty but also establishes itself as a work of extraordinary conceptual value and an essential addition to top-tier contemporary art collections.
