Description from the seller
Leandro Olano
Polychromatic gaze, 2026
Oil on canvas
60 × 25 cm
Signed in the lower right corner
Original unique work, entirely handmade
Accompanied by artist's certificate of authenticity
Ships unframed (rolled) for maximum transport security
The work is a vertical narrow close-up of a female or androgynous face, almost filling the pictorial field. The blue eyes look slightly upward and at the viewer with direct intensity. The construction of volume is not based on realistic modeling but on juxtaposed color planes and thick, dense, and gestural brushstrokes.
Reds, greens, blues, yellows, and pinks overlap and clash without a smooth transition: the forehead, cheeks, nose, and neck fragment into chromatic blotches that recall Fauvist and expressionist logic. The background and the edges of the canvas continue that same logic of blocks of pure color. The result is a face that does not describe a concrete identity but an intense emotional presence, almost aggressive in its chromaticism.
Technique: oil on canvas with thick impasto and evident hand-work.
Format: 60 × 25 cm, vertical narrow, identical to that of the previous work.
Date: 2026 (recent work).
Visible signature + certificate of authenticity
Shipping unframed: practical and reasonable decision for protection.
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.
