José Martí – SOLD

Carlos Apitz — Thu, 18 Apr 2024 15:55:05 +0000

José Martí, a Cuban writer, journalist, philosopher, poet, and politician, serves as the inspiration for this work, embodying the spirit of Cuba’s emancipation.

Viewers are intended to perceive the noble essence of José Martí, portrayed through a contemporary lens, aligning with his enduring significance in Cuban culture.

The choice of medium, subject matter and style is motivated by the lack of high-quality photographs of Martí. Utilizing an engraving from the late 19th century as a reference, the artwork combines dynamic brushstrokes to convey his fervent struggle. Acrylic with gel is employed to impart a 3D effect to his face, reminiscent of pen drawings or engravings, juxtaposing the vibrant hues of the Cuban flag with his serene countenance.

Dorothy – The Wizard of Oz

Carlos Apitz — Sun, 27 Jun 2021 12:11:04 +0000

Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz, played by Judy Garland, is a classic American movie. One of the iconic images of the Wizard of Oz is this scene of Dorothy in the cornfield, where she meets the Scarecrow.
In a version made by Carlos Apitz, Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz appears painted on canvas with vibrant colors, “a modernized version of Dorothy”, but which still retains that expression of innocent hope and concern about the future, at the beginning of the “brick road yellows “. Perhaps the same expression of many of us when starting a new path.
