Maikel Sotomayor - De cuerpo blanco - XL

“White Body” is a piece that represents a horse. Its title alludes to the colors of its coat, which is itself a metaphor for mestizaje.
It is common in Maikel Sotomayor’s work to address themes related to ethnic and cultural mixtures and the beauty that resides in those identities. This is a work where he returns to one of his habitual symbols: the horse, an animal that embodies strength, resilience and speed; located in a rural area, which makes us think it enjoys freedom.
The colors used for the background recreate a exalted and festive atmosphere.
