Description: Striking original oil painting by renowned Cuban-Chilean modernist Mario Carreño, showcasing his signature use of bold color, rhythmic forms, and dynamic movement. The composition depicts a seated drummer surrounded by a lush bamboo forest, rendered in Carreño’s expressive post-Cubist style. Rich layers of impasto and vivid chromatic contrasts bring the scene to life with extraordinary energy and texture.
The work is signed “Carreño” at lower left and presented in an ornate gilt frame that complements its dramatic palette. A powerful example of Carreño’s figurative period and a desirable addition for collectors of Latin American modern art.
