About the Artist

José María Mijares was a Cuban artist known for his expressive, stylized compositions that blend elements of folk tradition with modern abstraction. His work often focuses on everyday life, architecture, and human presence, rendered through simplified forms, bold outlines, and a rich, emotive color palette. Mijares’ paintings emphasize mood and narrative over strict realism, giving his scenes a timeless, contemplative quality. His work appeals to collectors who appreciate atmospheric, story-driven art with strong decorative impact. Mijares’ work has been exhibited at several major shows in Havana, Paris, Caracas, Port-au-Prince (Haiti), São Paulo, Tokyo, Washington D.C., and Miami, among other cities.

About the Painting

This original oil on canvas painting presents a serene waterfront village scene, with softly abstracted houses, floating boats, and a solitary figure overlooking the water. The artist uses strong black contours, warm earth tones, and cool blues to create a harmonious balance between structure and emotion. The simplified forms and gentle brushwork lend the piece a dreamlike, reflective quality. Titled Marina, the composition invites the viewer into a quiet moment of pause, evoking both nostalgia and calm. See less
