Lisbet Cuellar (XX) - Pacto de piel

Oil on canvas
Dimensions: 59x49 cm

This work explores the relationship between vulnerability and strength through a female figure captured in a gesture of gathering herself. Seen from behind and enveloped by her own arms, the protagonist seems to inhabit an intimate space where protection, introspection, and the search for balance become the true theme of the composition.

The anatomical delicacy, the careful lighting on the skin, and the realistic treatment of the hands contrast with the simplicity of the turquoise background, creating an image of great visual and emotional impact. The chromatic palette, dominated by blues and warm skin tones, generates a serene atmosphere that invites contemplation.

Beyond the figurative representation, the piece suggests a reflection on self-care, resilience, and the universal need to find refuge within oneself. The embrace is not presented as an act of isolation, but as a quiet affirmation of presence, acceptance, and inner strength.

A contemporary work that combines sensitivity, elegance, and emotional depth, capable of establishing an immediate dialogue with the viewer.
