About this artwork

“Kadida” is an evocative painting that emerges from the shadows in an embrace of pale whites and greens, colors that symbolize hope. The central character, despite his personal struggle due to his racial difference, never stops dreaming and smiling. The sponge technique used in the painting gives it a soft, ethereal texture, while the conceptual lines that subtly mark its arms and hands add a touch of abstraction.

Kadida's face is turned downward,… a posture that expresses introspection and determination. Through its expression, the painting communicates a powerful message of perseverance and aspiration to realize one's small life dreams, reflecting the universality of the desire to move forward and find happiness.

The work is a testament to resilience and hope, capturing the essence of a personal struggle transformed into an act of courage and optimism.

« 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.
