Catedral en amarillo
A vibrant and densely composed work, this gouache on paper depicts a cathedral rendered in luminous shades of yellow, showcasing Portocarrero's signature fusion of Cuban Baroque sensibility with bold, expressive color. The architectural forms dissolve into an intricate tapestry of decorative patterns and organic shapes, reflecting the artist's deep engagement with the ornate visual culture of Havana. The warm, radiant palette imbues the sacred subject with a festive, almost dreamlike energy characteristic of Portocarrero's celebrated style.
