Beauty of Havana I

Quiet, poised, and radiant in its simplicity, Beauty of Havana I by Tomas Pineda Matus captures a timeless profile of a young woman in meticulous linework and soft shadow. Drawn in profile, her serene expression and upward gaze evoke dignity and introspection, while delicate details—like her earring and the subtle texturing of her hair—add intimacy and realism.
Executed with a master’s hand, the composition merges classical technique with Latin American warmth. The print is part of a limited series, signed and numbered, and reflects Pineda Matus’ ability to elevate portraiture into soulful storytelling. The use of graphite and delicate paper allows the subject’s quiet presence to take full command of the space.
