Yuni R. P - XL - Brisa Costera

YUNI R. P.'s painting is built upon a direct, physical relationship with matter. Working mainly with oil on canvas and dispensing with the brush in favor of the spatula, the artist develops a pictorial surface where color is not limited to describing the image: it gains volume, direction, and movement.

The spatula allows him to deposit, drag, and layer the oil through broad, decisive gestures. From this process arise surfaces of considerable material- chromatic richness, where colors are partially on the canvas without completely losing their individuality. This characteristic is one of the most recognizable elements of his language: intense blues, turquoises, solar yellows, oranges, reds, and whites appear faced and interwoven in a highly luminous palette.

Although his production includes landscapes, gardens, figures, and urban scenes, in recent years the sea has become one of the great axes of his painting. Sails, ports, coasts, reflections, and horizons recur, transformed by a gaze that privileges sensory experience over meticulous description. His residence in Havana and daily proximity to the coastal landscape thus find a natural reflection in his imagination.

Formally, his work dialogues with certain principles of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism: capturing changing light, chromatic fragmentation, and the intention to convey an impression rather than a photographic reproduction of the subject. In some of his seascapes, there can even be a sense of affinity with the luminist tradition of Joaquín Sorolla, particularly in the interest in the radiance of the water and in the way whites, blues, and yellows turn the marine surface into a space of light. It is not a imitation, but an affinity within a long tradition of artists fascinated by the relationship between sea, color, and luminosity.

However, YUNI R. P. takes that tradition toward a painting that is more materially emphatic. The imprint of the spatula remains visible and turns each color plane into a small structure. Up close, the painting may verge on abstraction; from a distance, those stains and directions reorganize as sails, reflections, vegetation, figures, or horizons. That tension between abstraction and representation is one of the most attractive aspects of his work.

Photographs can barely convey this character fully. In front of the canvas, the relief of the oil and the changes produced by light incidence give the works a presence and a depth that exceed the two-dimensional image. The result is an immediate, vital, and recognizable painting, characterized by strong chromatic energy and a deeply optimistic vision of the landscape.

Yuniesky Rodríguez Peña's public trajectory includes solo and group exhibitions in Cuba and the presence of his work in international private collections. His work has also been internationally disseminated through platforms and organizations dedicated to contemporary art. His works are collected in several locations across Europe, both privately and institutionally.

This endearing and vibrant oil-on-canvas work stands out for its chromatic richness and its welcoming atmosphere, blending the warmth of an interior still life with the vastness of a seascape. In the foreground, on a table lit by intense bursts of sunlight, lies an elegant black-and-white cat resting serenely on some books, accompanied by a cup of coffee and a jug with blue and white stripes overflowing with wildflowers. The composition opens onto a balcony of yellow-framed windows and a wrought-iron railing that frames a splendid view of the ocean, where serene blue-tinged waters shelter the silhouette of a sailing boat under a clear sky. The contrast between the red wall in the background and the luminous exterior palette, rendered with expressive, textured brushwork, gives the piece a unique Mediterranean charm that invites calm and contemplation, making it an ideal artistic jewel for any private collection.
