About the artwork

This digital artwork titled "Una Cortadoa" is an expressive and colourful interpretation of a man holding a cortada, executed in a graphic, pop-art style. The artist uses bright, contrasting colours to convey depth, texture and emotion. The background is a gradual colour gradient from light to dark green, creating a vivid contrast with the purple, orange, blue and pink tones that make up the person's face and clothing.

The man wears a flat cap and glasses, and his expression is calm and slightly smiling. He looks directly at the viewer as he brings a small glass to his lips. The lines and planes are sharply defined, reminiscent of cloisonné technique or a topographical map. This digital approach abstracts reality in a way that is at once recognisable and alienating.

The combination of bright colours and the layered style suggests not only technical skill but also introspection: the portrait seems to refer to the layering of identity. Through this visual fragmentation, the work perhaps reveals something about the complexity of self-image or the influence of time, memory and experience on one's self-perception.

"Una Cortado" is a powerful visual statement, elevating the mundane (a man with a drink) into a vivid and thought-provoking image that invites reflection on how we see and present ourselves to the world.
