An elderly Cuban man smoking a cigar. His face is deep-lined, sun-kissed and expressive, with a calm but tired look. The painting’s 3D texture is enhanced by thick layers of oil paint and a mixed patchwork technique. The background is a slightly blurred depiction of a Havana street bar, with ghostly silhouettes chatting, drinking rum and moving in the misty air. The image is thick with drifting cigar smoke, lending a hazy, eerie atmosphere to the whole scene. The color palette reflects a typical Cuban aesthetic: warm and vibrant tones such as sun-washed yellows, ocean turquoises, rusty reds and burnt oranges dominate the picture. The composition is both dynamic and melancholic, characteristically Cuban.
