About this artwork
She gave everything. What remained was entirely hers.
A woman lies beneath sheer white fabric, arms open, body at rest, a gold cuff on her wrist catching the light. Above her, a male figure dissolves upward into the dripping reds of the canvas, his form less solid than smoke. She is the one who is real here. She is the one who stays.
Entrega is the collection's moment of profound release — not loss, but arrival. I painted her not as a sacrifice but… as a woman who has arrived at the far end of judgment, fully intact. The gold at her wrist is the only hard thing in the image. Everything else has softened. Everything else has let go.

Credentials
- Works on commission
Alejandro Reyna is a Mexican muralist and painter with over 50 years of experience. A Master of Fine Arts from the National School of San Carlos, UNAM, his legacy can be seen in hospitals, airports, and government palaces throughout Mexico through 23 monumental murals.
He has conceived collections that inhabit their own conceptual universes: the human psyche and its emotions, pre-Hispanic mythology, the movement of the body, the tensions between opposites. His most celebrated work, "Aurum Nostrum," pays homage to the great masters of Western art, transmuting them into a profoundly contemporary language.
Academic realism with the soul of Magical Realism. Precise human figures inhabiting abstract and dreamlike spaces. His technique combines classical and contemporary styles, experimenting with gold, geometry, and color on a grand scale. His works convey wonder and reflection, inviting an emotional and universal experience that reconciles the ancestral with the modern.
