Internal and external reflections coalesce in a print by Tomás Sánchez.

Cuban artist Tomás Sánchez paints surreal visions of utopia in mind-bending detail. The artworks embody his commitment to preserving what remains of the wilderness, and a personal relationship with meditation spanning five decades.

Inner Love places its cross-legged subject on a mirage-like island, mirrored perfectly in the water that surrounds it. As with many of the artist's landscapes, the scene is inspired by verdant forests and tranquil rivers close to his studio in Costa Rica. For Sánchez, the artwork provides space for a moment of self-reflection.

"I believe that Inner Love is a painting that can transmit to others the same peace that it transmits to me and, today, it is invaluable to receive a bit of peace."

The edition transforms a larger painting into a fine-tuned UV pigment print complete with a silkscreen varnish seal. Printmakers paid particular attention to fidelity and colouration, both of which are integral to Sánchez’ work, throughout the process.

Behind the scenes

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.
