Tomás Esson — Mi otra mitad
Tomás Esson

Mi otra mitad

A raucous and visceral composition by Cuban artist Tomás Esson, *Mi otra mitad* explodes with bold, fleshy forms rendered in vivid acrylic on masonite. The work embodies Esson's signature transgressive aesthetic, blending grotesque figuration with raw carnality and darkly comic energy. The artist's handcrafted frame, fitted with rubber bull horns, extends the painting's aggressive presence into physical space, collapsing the boundary between image and object.
