Alejandro Carballosa - Retrato

Oil on canvas
Description
Contemporary pictorial work featuring the head of a horse depicted in the foreground, with an intense gaze and a pronounced expression of nobility and serenity.
The figure emerges from a predominantly black background, creating a strong contrast with the brushstrokes in red and fuchsia that run along the sides and bottom of the composition. This chromatic combination brings energy and drama to an image dominated, at the same time, by the calm and elegance of the animal.
The treatment of light and shadow carefully models the horse's face, highlighting especially its gaze, the profile of the muzzle and the texture of the mane. The more gestural brushstrokes of the background introduce a contemporary language that contrasts with the realism of the figure.
A work with great visual presence, combining figuration, expressive force and an intense color palette. Its aesthetics are particularly suitable for contemporary interiors and for collectors interested in animal representation from a modern perspective.

Alejandro Carballosa, visual artist and Cuban designer residing in Spain, with a career marked by the exploration of strength, emotion and beauty in the animal and human figure. His work combines technical realism with a contemporary vision, where color, light and movement acquire a symbolic and expressive language.
Trained in visual arts and design, he integrates the aesthetic sensitivity of classical art with modern resources, creating pieces that balance energy and introspection.
His work has been shown in collective and individual exhibitions, and is part of private collections in Germany and the United States
