Sun and Flag: A Glimpse into the Heart of Havana

Immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of Cuba with “Sun and Flag,” an oil and cold wax painting that captures the soul of Havana and invites you to wander through the bustling streets of a city where culture pulsates at every corner, and history whispers from the walls.

Rendered on a gessoed birchwood cradled panel, “Sun and Flag” offers not just visual delight, but also the tactile depth that beckons closer inspection. Each layer, meticulously built up and then partially revealed, speaks a thousand words about the stories hidden within Havana’s vibrant avenues.

Picture yourself amidst the juxtaposition of a local Havana street, bathed in sunlight, with scenes of life unfolding as it always has—vivid, unapologetic. The rich atmosphere of the piece, reminiscent of balmy Caribbean days, exudes a vibrancy that echoes the energetic spirit of the inhabitants.

At the heart of this scenic portrayal is the Cuban flag—the emblem of national pride—painted on crumbling walls that stand testament to the resilience and strength of the Cuban people. The flag’s bold colours ripple in an unseen breeze, a symbol of defiance and hope against the backdrop of time-worn architecture.

The beauty of “Sun and Flag”  speaks to the art collector who seek connection—a yearning for cultural exploration and personal reflection. The textured layers evoke thought; they prompt you to ponder the ebb and flow of life within these painted streets.

If you are seeking art to hang on your wall at home or in the office, the piece is an anchor—a statement item that transforms a space into a conversation. It draws you in, invoking emotions of wanderlust and a deep appreciation for the diversity of the human experience.

“Sun and Flag” is a bridge between worlds, a means to transport the warmth, the stories, and the essence of Cuban streets into your presence.

This isn’t just art; it’s a visual narrative woven with deliberate strokes and bold colours. It is the epitome of introspection and worldly exploration, brought home to you, ready to hang, enduring in both its form and its impact.
