In El testigo, Tomás Sánchez lets the transcendent power of golden hour live forever.

For nearly three decades, the Cuban artist has painted meditative landscapes in hyperrealistic detail. Here, his delicate brushstrokes render a canopy of foliage, while soft amber light creates a mesmerising atmosphere, drawing the viewer in. Towering treetops form arches "reminiscent of temples", beneath which two figures sit in quiet reflection – mirroring Tomás's own daily practice.

To create this edition, printers at Make-Ready translated the piece in exceptional detail, faithfully capturing the depth of Tomás's Romantic-inspired palette into print.

Since 1970, meditation has been central to my life – not a day passes without me dedicating some time to it, and on some occasions, several times daily. It is an integral part of my life and a source of inspiration for my painting.

Tomás 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.
