Description

This work presents the imposing figure of a horse depicted in an intense range of blues, highlighting its musculature, serenity, and the elegance of its inclined posture. The artist uses a strong contrast between the illuminated body of the animal and the dark background, creating a dramatic atmosphere that directs the gaze toward the expressiveness of the face and the contained strength in its anatomy.

The blue monochromatic palette enhances the feeling of calm, introspection, and nobility, turning the horse into a symbol of silent power. The smooth transitions of light and shadow reveal a clear mastery of drawing and volume, giving the work an almost sculptural character.

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.
