A M Reyes - “Vuelo Inconsciente"(XXL)

“Inconscious Flight" stands as a lyrical self-portrait of doubt and merit. The composition, a fusion of figurative realism and expressive brushstrokes, captures a suspended moment where the central figure, a dancer at rest, wrestles between her own perception and the surrounding reality. I built the figure of the dancer with solid three-dimensionality through firm brushstrokes and vibrant points of light. This technical precision celebrates the discipline and triumph of the body, while warm tones and the solid structure of the pedestal give her a firm and luminous base. By giving this rich, tactile, luminous texture to the bluish wing, I make tangible what the dancer has not yet seen, a structure of light and volume that confirms the absolute certainty of her own potential, unfolded and ready for flight.
Vida AMReyes. (Granma, Cuba 1991) discovered from a very young age that drawing was not just a pastime, but a way to translate the world. In 2010, she graduated with honors from the prestigious Carlos Enrique Gómez Academy of Fine Arts. There she consolidated an exceptional technical dexterity in oil painting, acrylics, and life drawing, foundations that would later shape her conceptual signature.
Her early career years unfolded amid the Cuban cultural effervescence, actively participating in young art salons and group exhibitions. Her work began to stand out immediately: in salons and exhibitions earning numerous prizes and honorable mentions.
AMReyes' work is distinguished by a visceral and imposing realism that grabs the gaze at first sight. However, her approach doesn’t stay at mere photographic mimesis. On anatomies studied with rigor or faces charged with a deep psychographic expressiveness, the artist overlays and integrates icons, allegories and conceptual elements: wings that seem invisible to the wearer, suspended threads, dense blocks of color, or garbed outfits laden with symbolism. For her, the human body and the everyday figure are the perfect canvas to reflect on identity.
This fusion of technical mastery and symbolic narrative paved the way for her international projection. Over the last decade, her works have been acquired by private collectors and galleries in:
Spain: Where her conceptual language connects with European Expressionism.
United States: Included in private collections dedicated to contemporary Latin American art.
Belgium and Poland: Exhibited at figurative art fairs and avant-garde galleries.
Russia: Acquired by collectors fascinated by technical rigor and the school of Realism.
Currently, AMReyes resides in Spain, the country where she has set up her studio and consolidated a new creative phase. Far from the rapid commercial noise, she continues to develop her artistic life with patience and rigor, exploring painting as a tool of universal introspection. Her studio today is a space of constant creation, where every brushstroke continues to reveal those truths and hidden icons that we all carry inside, but that we often find hard to see.
