AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Leandro Olano
Polychrome Warrior, 2026
Oil on canvas
40 × 24.5 cm
Signed and dated in the lower right corner
Original unique work, executed entirely by hand
Comes with the artist's certificate of authenticity
Shipped unstretched (rolled for maximum transport security)
The vertical composition presents a foreground of a face with intense features, slightly turned, with a blue gaze fixed on the viewer. The hair appears braided and adorned with spherical beads; a red-blue striped structure covers the top of the head like a headdress or helmet.
The volume of the face is not built by traditional modeling but by saturated color planes (oranges, reds, blues, greens and violets) that fragment the anatomy into arbitrary zones of light and shadow. The background is divided into geometric blocks of yellow and red that reinforce the chromatic impact without offering spatial depth. The brushwork is dense, pastey and gestural, with visible impasto that prioritizes material over descriptive detail.
Oil on canvas, 40 × 24.5 cm, 2026.
Narrow vertical format
Signature and date visible + certificate of authenticity
Shipping without stretcher:
It remains within the same line as previous works: contemporary figuration rooted in Expressionist-Fauvist sensibilities. Color is the true protagonist; the identity of the character is subordinated to chromatic intensity and painterly matter. There is a clear debt to Fauvism and to certain contemporary expressive painting that seeks immediate emotional impact through saturation and contrast.
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.
