Guajiro a caballo

With confident brushwork and a Cuban soul, Richard Somonte invites us to ride alongside him through the countryside in this intimate and powerful self-portrait. The piece captures not only the movement of the horse and the warmth of the landscape, but also the spirit of the guajiro—free, grounded, and deeply connected to the land.
Each stroke evokes the heat of the sun, the whisper of the wind through the brush, and the quiet dignity of a simple, purposeful life. A work rich in identity and emotion, perfect for collectors who value art with roots and authenticity.
