"Nido de Amor"

Step into a sanctuary of affection with "Nido de Amor" (Love Nest), a heartwarming original work by Cuban master Roger Ayala. This painting beautifully visualizes the concept of home not as a place, but as a feeling of safety and belonging found within family.

The composition centers on a tender embrace between a mother and child, seated together in a sturdy wooden chair that acts as the physical framework of their "nest." The child, in turn, cradles the signature stitched doll found in Ayala's recent series, creating a touching hierarchy of care and protection. Ayala’s "split-face" technique is used gently here to show the shared resemblance and emotional synchronicity between the figures.

The scene is vibrant and alive, set against a backdrop of fresh, vivid green. A blue vase with a single red rose adds a touch of domestic elegance, while colorful butterflies and a gathering of small birds perch on the chair and the subjects, completing the image of a harmonious, thriving household.

The Artist: Roger Ayala (b. 1950)

A graduate of the Provincial School of Plastic Arts in Pinar del Río, Cuba, Roger Ayala has built a career on exploring the relationship between humanity and nature. His "split-face" technique—often used to show duality—is used here with great subtlety to highlight the shift between the outer world and inner thought. His works are officially recognized by the Fondo de Bienes Culturales and are treasured in international private collections.
