Recuerdos

Measures: 54 x 38 cm

Recuerdos is a portrait of time itself, etched into the deep lines of a face that has seen and lived it all.

I wanted to capture more than just an aged expression—I aimed to portray a life filled with experiences, wisdom, and resilience. The warm tones of the skin contrast with the cool highlights of the beard, creating a dynamic interplay of light and shadow that reflects the complexity of memory.

His piercing gaze tells a story—perhaps of nostalgia, of lost moments, or of a quiet satisfaction in remembering. The expressive watercolor strokes add movement to the composition, reinforcing the idea that memories are fluid, ever-changing, and alive within us.

This piece is for those who appreciate the beauty of a life well-lived and the emotions carried in a single glance.
