ROBERTO PANDOLFI. ORIGINAL DRAWING. Signed bottom right
Artist: Roberto Pandolfi (Argentine, 20th–21st century)
Medium: Ink and colored pencil (or pastel) on paper
Dimensions: 60 × 47 cm
Description:
Original drawing by Roberto Pandolfi depicting a fantastical figure composed of serpentine and humanoid elements. The central face, surrounded by sinuous, coiling forms and appendages, appears both mechanical and organic. Set against a vivid magenta background, the composition bursts with electric hues—neon yellows, blues, and reds—evoking a psychedelic or dreamlike state.
Pandolfi’s work merges Latin American symbolism with a personal surrealist language, often exploring dualities—man and beast, spirit and matter, inner and outer vision. In this piece, the creature’s hypnotic gaze and winding body suggest transformation, control, and introspection. The composition’s playful menace and intense chromatic contrasts reflect Pandolfi’s unique voice in contemporary visionary art.

BOZE Oil painting.
Title:Opium Smoker
Artist: BOZE (French, 20th century)
Medium: Acrylic on canvas
Dimensions: 39 × 50 cm
Description:
Original painting by BOZE depicting a reclining man smoking opium. The figure is stylized with mechanical and abstract forms, combining human anatomy with components reminiscent of gears, levers, and tubes. Rendered in warm reds, oranges, and blues against a soft yellow background, the scene evokes both dreamlike detachment and physical ritual.
Boze’s work reinterprets traditional opium-smoking imagery through a surreal and modern lens. The composition reflects the introspective and isolating nature of the opium experience, while the mechanical details suggest the ritual’s repetition and systemic place in society.
HUGO CASTRO Original Acrylic Painting. Signed bottom left
Artist: Hugo Castro (Mexican, 20th–21st century)
Medium: Acrylic on canvas
Dimensions: 50 × 70 cm
Description:
Underwater scene, Hugo Castro is depicting a fantastical journey through the deep sea. Two human figures, dressed in modern and playful attire, ride large mechanical fish with expressive, cartoon-like faces. A child follows behind, seemingly tethered to the group and riding a small bicycle
Blending fantasy, satire, and a touch of science fiction, Castro’s work reflects on themes of escapism, environmental imagination, and childlike wonder. The fluid motion of the composition and the vibrant palette create a sense of weightlessness and absurd adventure. The juxtaposition of human and mechanical-animal forms challenges traditional boundaries between nature, machine, and human experience.
Acrylic on board by Cesar LEAL JIMENEZ. Dated and signed bottom right “C LEAL 91”
“FUNDATIONS OF CUBA”
Year: 1991
Artist: César Leal Jiménez
Medium: Oil on canvas
Description:
Painting by César Leal Jiménez blenings elements of Cubism and surrealism to depict a woman emerging from an architectural pedestal. Her fragmented, geometric form emphasizes both strength and sensuality, with her body serving as both structure and symbol. A cup of steaming coffee and a cigar rest upon her chest, their smoke entwining with her flowing white hair, linking pleasure, ritual, and identity.
César Leal Jiménez’s work often explores the complexity of feminine identity through bold symbolism and architectural references. Here, the female figure becomes both temple and totem—embodying power, allure, and cultural resonance in a single enigmatic composition.

PHILIPPE BOSIO. Oil painting.
Title:L’Opiomane au Soleil
Artist: Philippe Bosio (French, b. 20th c.)
Medium: Oil on Canvas
Dimensions: 52×63 cm
Description:
French artist Philippe Bosio presents a surrealist tableau of a man in the throes of an opium-induced reverie. The composition centers on a semi-reclined figure, whose fragmented form is composed of radiating cylinders and mechanical motifs, suggesting both euphoria and disintegration. This psychedelic abstraction imbues the subject with a hallucinatory aura, reflecting the inner landscape of altered consciousness.
Bosio’s bold palette—rich in primary reds, blues, and yellows—intensifies the psychological charge of the work, while the crisp outlines and flattened perspective lend it a modernist clarity. This painting evokes themes of escapism, solitude, and the seductive peril of narcotic indulgence.
This work exemplifies Philippe Bosio’s distinctive fusion of figurative surrealism with social commentary. Through abstraction and symbolic distortion, L’Opiomane au Soleil probes the complex relationship between intoxication and identity, inviting the viewer into a meditative space where perception is both heightened and obscured.
