Description

The painting captures the moment when the horse, an eternal symbol of strength and freedom, bursts into movement. With an energetic stroke and a warm palette, it transforms the animal's anatomy into a dance between power and emotion.
The greenish background, which contrasts with the reddish tones of the body, suggests an ethereal space where the figure appears suspended between the earth and the air.
The fluid brushstroke and the treatment of light reveal the inner vitality that drives the being to transcend its own limits.

Cuban visual artist and designer residing in Spain, with a career marked by the exploration of strength, emotion, and beauty in the animal and human figure. His work combines technical realism with a contemporary vision, where color, light, and movement acquire a symbolic and expressive language.
Trained in visual arts and design, he integrates the aesthetic sensitivity of classical art with modern resources, creating pieces that balance energy and introspection.
His work has been exhibited in group and solo exhibitions, and is part of private collections in Germany and the United States.
