HIJA EL FLACO

HIJA EL FLACO, Acrylics, 2024, 60 × 40 cm. A heartfelt commissioned portrait, this painting immortalizes the tender bond between a young girl and her beloved pony at the moment of farewell. Commissioned by a devoted father (a passionate musician nicknamed “El Flaco”) as a gift for his daughter, the piece celebrates their shared memories even as the pony moves on to a new home. In soft, affectionate brushwork, the girl and pony are depicted side by side, their connection almost tangible through gentle expressions and warm tones. The acrylic medium lends a luminous depth to the scene, ensuring that the emotion of love and the bittersweet joy of parting are captured with enduring clarity.
