About the artist:
Yamila Velázquez (Las Tunas, Cuba, 1993) is a contemporary artist who uses digital intelligence tools. She currently lives and works in Alicante, Spain. Owner and partner of a company dedicated to the sale, representation, and development of artists and artworks, Velázquez combines her business vision with a deep artistic sensitivity.
This young Cuban talent has established himself in the field of digital art, using contemporary media to explore themes related to nature, landscape, and the intimate relationship between women and their environment. His works subtly and visually powerfully address topics such as beauty, love, sensuality, and feminine delicacy, always set within immersive, romantic, and refined atmospheres.
With a vibrant and expressive aesthetic, Yamila Velázquez manages to blend classical influences with a modern language, resulting in versatile, fresh, and deeply evocative works. The pictorial texture of her images, the masterful use of color, and the emotionally balanced composition position her work as a current artistic proposal of high aesthetic value.

This powerful conceptual sculpture merges two radically different worlds: the pristine corporate image of Mickey Mouse and the philosophical depth of Kintsugi. The character, one of the most ubiquitous figures in global pop culture, is depicted not in his idealized perfection, but as an object of ceremonial value that has survived time and use.

The toy-like or vinyl figure, with its hard contours, is presented with an intentionally distressed patina in white, blue, and red. The key to the work lies in the masterful use of gold. The precious metal not only highlights the edges and seams of the figure (including the worker's overalls) but is also applied directly to the surface as if filling the cracks and erosions.

The gold on the head and upper limbs, where the original coating has fractured, acts like lacquered resin, honoring the damage. This transforms Mickey Mouse from a mere commercial product into an object of worship and remembrance. The piece suggests that the true legacy of an icon—its impact, its ups and downs, and its enduring nature—is only solidified and enhanced by acknowledging and embracing its own history of wear and tear or adaptation. It is a statement about the inherent aesthetic strength of imperfection.
