A symbolic painting of a child on a beach at night, between an African man and a European knight. Ancestral forms shake hands under a moon.

A symbolic painting of a child on a beach at night, between an African man and a European knight. Ancestral forms shake hands under a moon.

ymbolic artistic illustration based on the poem 'Mis dos abuelos' by Nicolás Guillén. In the center stands a young mestizo figure under a starry Caribbean night. Behind them appear two large ancestral figures made of shadow and light: on the left an African grandfather with dark skin, barefoot, holding a drum and a spear, surrounded by tropical jungle; on the right a European Spanish grandfather wearing a gray armor and ruff collar, with a colonial ship and ocean behind him. In the upper part the two grandfathers move toward each other and finally embrace, symbolizing reconciliation and mestizaje. Warm moonlight, poetic and emotional atmosphere, painterly educational style." Mehr sehen
