Luis Enrique González presents Ecos de Ternura, an original oil and charcoal on canvas work in 47 × 39 cm, signed by hand, in Realism depicting wildlife with a contemplative horse, created in 2025 in Spain.
Description from the seller
In 'Echoes of Tenderness,' Cuban artist Luis Enrique González creates an extraordinarily sensitive equine portrait, where stillness becomes a silent language filled with deep emotions. The horse, captured in a gesture of almost human introspection, emerges from a warm background that envelops the scene with an aura of serenity and introspection.
The palette dominated by earth tones and oranges gives the artwork an intimate and close presence, while carefully applied glazes allow the viewer to read each nuance of the fur and every vibration of light on the musculature. González not only depicts an animal: he reveals an emotional state. The gentle, lowered gaze invites the viewer to a silent dialogue, where the nobility of the being portrayed is perceived beyond the physical.
This piece possesses a sober elegance and honesty that make it an ideal work for collectors seeking sensitivity, refined technique, and a visual narrative capable of transforming a space. 'Ecos de Ternura' is not just observed: it is felt, it is breathed, it is shared.

Artist Statement — Luis Enrique González
My work is a constant dialogue between light and form, where oil painting becomes a means to explore the emotional and symbolic depth of reality. I am interested in nature and the human figure not only as visual motifs but as living territories charged with stories, silences, and tensions. Through realism, I seek to reveal what is hidden in everyday life: fragility, strength, persistence, and beauty that manifest in gestures, in matter, and in the spaces we inhabit.
Chiaroscuro is for me a tool of thought. Through contrast, I find the internal structure of each image, the atmosphere that allows the color to breathe and become the protagonist. I work with meticulous observation, trying to ensure that each brushstroke retains the sensitivity of the moment and, at the same time, a permanence that transcends the temporality of the depicted object.
My pieces are positioned at a crossroads between academic tradition and a contemporary perspective, where rigorous technique coexists with a personal expressive search. I paint because I find in oil painting a space for revelation: a way to understand the world and at the same time reinvent it through light, texture, and color.
