What fundamentally binds these two works is meditation, and the different states it can move through.

Tomás Sánchez captures his spiritual homeland in two defining works as a pair of new limited edition prints.
Pensamiento-nube, originally painted in 2008, is inspired by the Romantics and his daily meditation practice. True to its title, Autorretrato en tarde rosa translates to Self-portrait on a pink afternoon, where the composition features the artist himself as a small meditating figure. This subtle detail symbolises his presence not as a dominator but as a reverent witness to nature's power.
To create the editions, printers at Make-Ready have faithfully translated two of Tomás's hyperrealistic landscape paintings into print, capturing the depth of his Romantic-inspired palette and fidelity of his intricate brushstrokes.
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.
