About this artwork
In this painting with its vibrant and raw accents, I pay a striking tribute to Jean-Michel Basquiat, an emblematic figure of urban art and New York counterculture of the 80s. Like a show poster signed Toulouse-Lautrec, the work is constructed as a visual poster, eye-catching, stylized, made to make an impression.
The textured black background evokes the street, the worn wall of a city. At its center, framed in bright red, is a graphic portrait of… the painter wearing his legendary white crown. His costume, his frank gaze, and his posture all recall the rebellion of a graffiti prince.
The handwritten letters—Jean Michel at the top, Basquiat at the bottom—reinforce the aesthetic of a wild poster, almost torn from a wall, intended to shout his name across the city. The whole celebrates the fusion between street and gallery.

« I love to feel with our artistic duet the dance of our brushes accompanied by imaginative, colorful music within our stage that is a canvas. »
Her work explores contemporary themes such as identity, human connection, and environmental issues, using symbols and vibrant colors to capture the viewer's attention with her reflections.
What distinguishes Sastre's approach is the audacity of his chromatic palette and the expressive tension of his human figures.
Each canvas becomes a space for dialogue between the sensitive and the social, the personal and the collective.
He works with various media—oil, acrylic, ink—on multiple supports, from traditional canvas to cardboard, giving his works a texture and an almost tactile physical presence. His works exude a gestural force, marked by the movement of the line and the almost choreographic energy of the application of color, like a painted dance that invites the viewer to feel as much as to contemplate.
