About this artwork
One half speaks, feels, fights.
The other observes, guards, resists in silence.
In this work, the face is divided between light and darkness, between desire and wound, between what we would like to say and what remains locked inside us.
The spider perched on the lips symbolizes this silence, whether chosen or imposed, these words that never manage to escape. The little hearts, meanwhile,… remind us that even in the heart of darkness, love, desire, and hope continue to exist.
"The Silent Half" speaks of our duality, of what we show to the world... and of all that no one ever truly knows about us.

« 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. »
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.
