THE FISH CAT
(AVAILABLE)
©2022 Oil on Canvas. 36 x 48 inches
Ochre tones dominate almost all of my dreams, reminiscent of the hues found in aged photographs, relics of time captured on pieces of cardboard that extended the presence of our grandparents. Today, these images beckon us to discover our own faces and poses within theirs.
The depiction of these ancestral figures imparts a sense of naivety to me—a naivety akin to what contemporary youth might perceive in their grandparents, tinged with tenderness and a subtle nostalgia, characteristic of a bittersweet farewell.
In the realm of modern art, myriad resources are at our disposal. Yet, the essence of perceiving art remains unchanged. Emotions traverse the same channels as in days of yore, causing us to tremble or even shed tears in the face of beauty. In this, we are no different from our predecessors.
However, the rapid pace of modern life, inundated by a constant barrage of images and sounds, threatens to erode our capacity for serene and gradual emotional experiences. Emotions now race through us in a whirlwind, saturating perception in an instant and prompting new encounters. Yet, I believe there must be limits to this acceleration.
Persisting in this trajectory could lead to implosion—a complete desensitization, a harsh and enduring nihilism that would cast humanity into an abyss of apathy towards the poetry of the soul.
Perhaps it is in those subdued shades that I find solace, a means to rest amid the relentless velocity of contemporary existence.
TOLEDO
(AVAILABLE)
©2022 Oil on Canvas. 36 x 48 inches
It was like being transported through the centuries.
If on the way I had not been so attentive to the landscape, to the towns and aware of the distance, the experience of being in front of the city of Toledo could well have been stored in my memory as a lucid dream.
Seeing the city from afar and feeling the entrance to a labyrinthine universe full of magic and art is a feeling that never disappears. It will remain there, in some corner of the mind waiting to be evoked by a smell, a texture or some ancient melody.
The image of this work is captured directly from reminiscence, from the impact that its contemplation produced in my eyes. Photos are of little use, they are useless to capture the greatness and essence of a city. Something else is art, which despite only expressing the vision of a single being, is capable of communing with slight remnants of the human soul that were scattered throughout the world.
With this work I try to reflect the magic of a town illuminated by dim gas lamps. Although my personal experience was contemplating the placid city before delving into its magnificence and its numerous legends, this time the viewer is before a troubled Tagus river, from which the stories that swarm through every crack in its walls and streets sprout. The Tagus becomes a Styx that you must cross to enjoy the cozy lights that emanate from the interiors and the poetic streets that invite you to walk among them.
The use of straight lines and elements transparently combined with sinuous forms is my resource to understand the extreme harmony that nature achieves when it uses time to convert its divine work into one.
The composition of this painting suggests just that: drinking your fill of history before entering the legendary universe of a small town. It doesn't matter if they are true or false. In the end it will be each one who shapes their own experience.
After all, the difference between the magical and the real is never that great.
The piece measures 36 x 48 inches, is made with Oil on canvas and was finished in May 2022.

LA DULCE ESPERA
(AVAILABLE)
©2023 Oil on Canvas. 22 x 28 inches
The canvas portrays a picturesque image of a pregnant couple, both of whom are farmers. The man stands behind the woman, his rough, calloused hand tenderly resting on her belly, as if to shield both his beloved and their unborn child. She looks peaceful and serene, her visage radiating a deep sense of trust and hope.
The colors of the painting are bright and lively, evoking a sensation of unbridled joy and boundless optimism. The couple is enveloped by luxuriant greenery and azure skies, suggesting that they lead a life of unpretentious contentment. The man's rugged features and work-weathered attire allude to the toil and strife he faces as a farmer. But his gentle touch towards his companion and their unborn offspring is a testament to his sterling character.
The painting embodies the exquisite beauty of the human spirit in the throes of life's difficulties. It exalts the power of love, hope, and fortitude, reminding us that even amid adversity, we can derive delight and meaning in life's simplest pleasures.

PRELUDE TO A RAPTURE
(AVAILABLE)

The Blue Hour is that brief space of time between sunset and the dark of
night. It is a calm space where insects wake up and the clear moon is better
observed over the pastel blue sky. A yellow glow emerges from the windows along with smoke and the smell of
freshly brewed coffee.
It is a warm, familiar, confident and intimate time. The lover sees the hour arrive. His horse is ready, as is the hut that he has
just built in a secret and distant place. She is waiting for him at home dressed and with the things he will need
wrapped in a linen sheet.
It's not time yet, it's just the blue hour... They both wait for everyone in the house to sleep soundly so that she jumps
out the window to get on the colt that awaits her, saddled, and that will lead
them through tangled paths full of mute witnesses, to a new life. This artwork was created in 2020. It is another foray by the artist into the
Cuban peasant theme, but using new plastic resources that give it more
spontaneity and a high note of surrealism.
