Cabeza (Face of a Woman)

A striking portrait by Cuban artist Mario Carreño, *Cabeza (Face of a Woman)* captures the essence of feminine form through bold, expressive lines and a modernist sensibility. The work reflects Carreño's signature synthesis of surrealist and avant-garde influences, distilling the human face into its most fundamental yet evocative elements. The composition exudes an intimate intensity, inviting the viewer to contemplate both the subject's inner world and the artist's masterful command of abstracted representation.
