Not Just Another Pretty Face/ No Es Solo Otra Cara Bonita (painting)

Not Just Another Pretty Face, acrylics 1.8 x 1.3 meters/5.9 x 4.3′

I find endless inspiration in musical performance, and this original acrylic painting on canvas, “Not Just Another Pretty Face/ No Es Solo Otra Cara Bonita”, is the latest exploration of that theme. Here, a piano player takes center stage, rendered with both abstract and expressionist elements. The oversized canvas is a study in contrasts: light and dark, color and tone, and a blend of artistic styles.

The fluid strokes of acrylic paint create a dynamic interplay between realism and expressionism. The figurative elements of the piano player are grounded in reality, while the surrounding abstract textures evoke the passionate atmosphere of a live musical performance.

This piece makes a dramatic statement, vibrant energy and thought-provoking composition.
