Bidspirit auction | Surrealist female nude, Contemporary Cuban

Surrealist female nude, Contemporary Cuban School, 20th Century - Oil on canvas. Dimensions: 99 x 79 cm; 102 x 84 cm with frame. A surrealist and expressionist composition centered on the figure of a female nude, seen from behind, positioned vertically along the central axis of the work and modeled with soft gradations of light that contrast with the gestural dynamism of the surroundings. The anatomy is synthesized with great formal elegance, highlighting the body's torsion, the movement of the hair, and the introspective attitude of the main figure, enveloped by an atmosphere of sinuous lines and black graphic marks that cover the entire painted surface. On either side emerge multiple anthropomorphic figures in intense shades of red, orange, and yellow, conceived almost as psychic presences or fragmented visions, generating a complex dialogue between sensuality, emotional tension, and expressive energy. The overlapping linear framework creates a sensation of continuous vibration that accentuates the dreamlike quality of the scene and reinforces spatial depth through organic and spontaneous rhythms. The work shows influences of late Surrealism and certain contemporary Neo-Expressionist styles, integrating a symbolic figuration of strong visual impact with a free and gestural approach to drawing. The technical quality is evident in the refined modeling of the central nude and in the balance between intense chromatic patches and delicate areas of compositional emptiness, resulting in a piece of remarkable psychological power and great aesthetic intensity within contemporary Cuban painting.
