Description from the seller
Leandro Olano
Double gaze, 2026
Oil on canvas
40 × 24 cm
Signed
Original unique work, entirely handmade
Accompanied by the artist's certificate of authenticity
Shipped unstretched (rolled for controlled transport) for maximum security in transit
The vertical narrow composition faces the viewer with two superimposed gazes: that of a human figure in the upper third and that of a black cat in the lower part. The human face is built through saturated color planes (reds, blues, greens, oranges, and violets) that fragment the anatomy without realistic modeling. The eyes, wide and open, look straight ahead with intensity. Below, the black cat occupies almost half of the lower canvas; its fur absorbs light and is only broken by the yellow-amber, vertical and fixed eyes, and the whiskers that cross the pictorial space.
The technique is thick impasto with gestural brushstrokes. The contrast between the aggressive polychromia of the human face and the dark mass of the animal creates a clear tension: two presences that do not look at each other, but look at the viewer simultaneously and insistently.
Oil on canvas, 40 × 24 cm, 2026.
Vertical narrow format
Signature + certificate of authenticity.
Unstretched shipment: a practical and correct decision for protection.
Contemporary figuration rooted in Expressionist-Fauvist origins. Color does not describe; it imposes. Anatomy is subordinated to chromatic force and material. The cat functions as a dark anchor and as a second protagonist, not as a decorative accessory. There is an evident debt to pure color painting of Fauvism and to a certain contemporary expressive figuration that seeks immediate emotional impact.
Seller's Story
About the Artist
Cristian Mesa Velázquez (Las Tunas, Cuba, 1994) is a contemporary Cuban painter currently living and working in Valencia, Spain.
Trained at the Professional Academy of Plastic Arts in Las Tunas, Mesa Velázquez has developed a personal pictorial language that combines solid technical realism with a strong symbolic and emotional charge. His work explores themes such as the human body, sensuality, nature, and light, always with a marked chromatic and textural sensitivity.
From a very young age, his talent was recognized in Cuba, where he participated in numerous national salons and collective exhibitions. Since 2020, his career has taken an important international leap, participating in major art fairs in Luxembourg, Paris, Germany, and France. His works have been acquired by private collectors in more than eight countries, including France, Italy, the Netherlands, China, Germany, the United States, Mexico, and Spain.
His painting is characterized by excellent craftsmanship, an expressive handling of oil, and a unique ability to transform the everyday into images full of poetry, desire, and vitality. His series of figures in water, fruits and hands, as well as his bird portraits, stand out for their visual power and their capacity to emotionally connect with the viewer.
Today, his work is part of important private collections around the world and continues to establish itself as one of the most interesting voices of contemporary Cuban realism in Europe.
