AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Oil on canvas
Dimensions: 67x57 cm
Description
The artwork depicts a horse submerged in deep waters, captured in full motion as it traverses a liquid world full of both dynamism and calm. The light filtering from the surface creates play of colors in shades of turquoise, blue, and green, producing a hypnotic effect that envelops and transforms the figure of the animal.
The artist fuses realism and a dreamlike atmosphere: the horse's body maintains accurate anatomy, but the aquatic environment distorts and elongates its lines, giving it an ethereal and symbolic character. The composition conveys freedom, inner strength, and the idea of an introspective journey beyond the visible.
The work stands out for its vibrant palette of blues, a sense of depth, and the harmony between movement, fluidity, and serenity. It is a contemporary piece with strong visual presence, ideal for collectors of modern equine painting or figurative art with surreal atmospheres.
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.
