About this artwork

"Alika" is a painting that aims to capture the essence of Soul and the powerful presence of an African-American woman from the 80s. The contrasts between black and red unfold like a passionate dance on the canvas, forming a face that shines with intensity. Red and gradient tones emerge from the dark abysses of black, symbolizing the warmth and vitality of the soul that wells up from the depths of your being.

Every feature and every shadow of “Alika”… tells a story; a story of struggle, of music, of soul. The color combination is not a simple technique, but a visual statement that evokes deep emotions and transports you to a time when the soul was not only heard, but lived. The fiery red of the background pulses like a heartbeat, while the touches of white bring peace and hope that illuminate Alika's face.

« 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.
