Title: The Embrace, 2025
Technique: Oil on canvas
Dimensions: 30”H x 15”W
Artist: Neyda De La Peña
 
The Embrace is a work that celebrates human warmth from a profoundly spiritual perspective. With stylized figures and a delicate visual language, Neyda De La Peña captures the intimate moment in which two beings envelop each other, not only with their arms, but with their entire being.
The embrace becomes a refuge: two bodies merging into a single form, creating a space of love and shelter. The artist introduces a powerful symbol at the bottom of the figure: a tree whose roots, branches, and leaves represent the life that flourishes when there is connection, care, and presence. Among the branches, a small hummingbird brings movement, hope, and renewal.
The warm tones of the background and the softness of the lines reinforce an atmosphere of tenderness and tranquility. The female figure's headscarf, with its touch of color and detail, adds a touch of personality and humanity to this intimate scene.
In The Embrace, the essential becomes visible: the power of a simple gesture that sustains, transforms, and gives life. An ideal piece for those seeking emotional, symbolic art with a contemporary aesthetic that invites reflection.
