🎨 In a work that radiates quiet intimacy, Cuban artist Jorge Luis Cabrera Garcia presents a portrait of British author Mary Shelley, her delicate features and deep eyes drawing the viewer in, she holds a red book, its cover dominated by the unmistakable face of Frankenstein – the character whose name has been bound to hers for over two centuries.
🖼️ The piece balances visual calm with underlying strength, combining a simple composition with rich symbolic layers, it is a silent dialogue between an author and her creation, between the past that witnessed the story’s birth and the present still resonating with its echoes, the result is an artwork that carries both the scent of literature and the allure of color.
