Showing half of the face is my way of celebrating the serenity of inhabiting one’s own mind. By diminishing the prominence of direct gaze, the figure folds in on itself, achieving a state of complete harmony, calm, and acceptance. It is an invitation to celebrate our inner universe, to pause the external noise, and to reconnect with the beauty of being at peace with who we are. I use a vibrant and intense red background to contrast with the graphic dynamism of the clothing. The skin is not uniform; I build it from visible brushstrokes of warm and greenish tones that trap light and give anatomical structure through a bold and confident stroke.

Vida AMReyes. (Granma, Cuba 1991) discovered very early that drawing was not merely a pastime, but a way of translating the world. In 2010, she graduated with honors from the prestigious Carlos Enrique Gómez Academy of Fine Arts. There she consolidated an exceptional technical mastery in oil painting, acrylics, and life drawing, foundations that would later shape her conceptual signature.
Her early career unfolded amid the Cuban cultural fervor, actively participating in young art salons and group exhibitions. Her work immediately began to stand out: in salons and exhibitions she won numerous prizes and mentions.

AMReyes’s work is distinguished by visceral, imposing realism that instantly captures the gaze. However, her approach does not stop at mere photographic mimesis. On anatomy worked with rigor or faces laden with deep psychographic expressiveness, the artist overlays and integrates icons, allegories, and conceptual elements: wings that seem invisible to those who wear them, suspended threads, blocks of dense color, or outfits full of symbolism. For her, the human body and everyday figure are the perfect canvas to reflect on identity.
This fusion between technical mastery and symbolic narrative paved the way for her international projection. Over the last decade, her pieces have been acquired by private collectors and galleries in:
Spain: where her conceptual language connects with European expressionism.
United States: integrated into private collections dedicated to contemporary Latin American art.
Belgium and Poland: exhibited at figurative art fairs and cutting-edge galleries.
Russia: acquired by collectors fascinated by technical rigor and the school of realism.
Currently, AMReyes resides in Spain, a country where she has established her studio and consolidated a new creative phase. Far from the fast 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 us, but that we often find difficult to see.
