ABOUT THE WORK

Romeo Tabuena’s art has more often than not been filled with rustic imagery. Usually featuring the landscapes and rural scenes of Mexico, sometimes along with the beauty of its people, culture and festivities, Tabuena’s distinct style of cubism has captivated audiences internationally — and to nobody’s surprise. This very work by the well-renowned cubist master, however, is a far cry from that of his usual themes. Rather than the usual bucolic setting, Tabuena captures a stunning moonlit view of San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, Mexico . The composition, ambient as always, pervades the scene with a magical atmosphere — one of tranquility and wistfulness. The alluring landscape is nothing short of breathtaking.
