This exceptional and vibrant original watercolor by master Cuban modernist José María Mijares showcases his signature geometric complexity and lyrical, stained-glass abstraction. The composition captures a bustling, stylized coastal village or marina town, filled with brilliant blue, red, and yellow waterfront architecture, arched bridges, and small watercraft navigating a turquoise sea. Whimsical figures dot the walkways and sailboats, seamlessly integrated into the heavily stylized, faceted landscape. Bold ink outlines paired with fluid, luminous watercolor washes give the work immense depth and structural dynamism.

Adding superb provenance and market readiness, the piece is accompanied by an official, matching Certificate of Authenticity (COA) issued by the Mijares Art Gallery, signed by Maria A. Cabrera de Mijares, and registered under archive reference JM #3250.
