About this artwork

The painting "Zaa" is presented on an unconventional base that is in itself a work of art. The cardboard reinforced with glued newspaper creates a unique, organic and nuanced texture. This raw and history-laden base gives the work a sense of depth and context, as if each fold and ripple tells a part of the story not only of "Zaa", but also of the recycled materials that support it.

The composition itself is a visual journey that combines the intensity… of figurative painting with a gaze that seems to penetrate the soul. "Zaa", the central character, exudes a captivating strength and presence, her vibrant and expressive eyes speaking of the vitality and energy of Africa. The bright, saturated and warm colours that surround her evoke the richness and cultural diversity of the continent, filling the scene with life.

There is a fascinating contrast in the work: a more conceptual part that intertwines with the figurative.

« 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.
