HANDS AND ROSES
Oil on board | 60×100cm | 2024
Original oil painting by Santi Pina
Hands and Roses is an intimate and masterful portrait of the artist’s mother, painted in her own studio. She is seated calmly, looking directly at the viewer with a gaze of rare depth, neither posed nor performative, but deeply present. Her expression holds the weight of memory and tenderness, while her hands rest gently on her lap, rendered with a level of expression that transcends language. The wrinkles, the veins, the posture; they all speak.
The title alludes to both fragility and strength: the hands as symbols of work, care, and aging; the “roses” evoked metaphorically through the grace and dignity that radiate from the sitter. There are no props, no distractions. Just the woman, the light, and the unfiltered reality of being.
Technically, Hands and Roses is a tour de force of contemporary realism. Created by Santi Pina at just 26 years old, the portrait demonstrates a painterly maturity and emotional acuity that calls to mind the great masters: the psychological insight of Rembrandt, the softness of Vermeer’s light, the quiet majesty of a Velázquez portrait. And yet, it is unmistakably his own.
NOTE: This is a deeply valuable and singular piece, the only portrait of the artist’s mother available for sale. A testament of love, craft, and the timeless act of looking.
