Tomás Sánchez captures his spiritual homeland in a new limited edition print of a defining work.

Autorretrato en tarde rosa, originally painted in 1994, is a quintessential example of the hyperreal landscapes which have made Tomás one of the most important living Cuban artists. True to its title – which translates as Self-portrait on a pink afternoon – the composition quietly includes the artist himself as a small meditating figure. This subtle detail symbolises his presence not as dominator but as a reverent witness to nature's power.

This archival pigment print faithfully translates the luminous detail and meditative atmosphere of the original painting.

For me, nature is a temple – just as the human body is a temple as well. So, if I’m asked how spirituality influences my work, I would say I don’t add it to the image afterwards; I feel it throughout my entire process of making.

Tomás Sánchez11 collaborationsTomás Sánchez's symbolic landscapes have made him one of the most important living Cuban artists. Part of Volumen Uno in the 80s, a movement that resisted the heavily censored Cuban art of the time, he has since received international recognition, with auction prices over USD 600,000. Inspired by the Romantics and his daily meditation practice, Tomás paints the wild beauty of his homeland, as well as harrowing panoramic views of garbage dumps. The works are incredibly detailed with a lush tropical palette, encompassing the physical wonder of the natural world, its immense spiritual power, and humankind's tendency to destroy it. Steeped in allegory, Tomás's art reinterprets traditional modes of painting to create an uncanny paradise that is at once hopeful and threatening.
