Carreño, ‘Colonial Patio’, 1943

A key figure in 20th-century Cuban modernism, Mario Carreño developed a singular visual language, combining traditional themes with formal innovation. In this oil on canvas, he portrays a layered courtyard scene: four women inhabit different planes of a colonial house framed by abundant tropical vegetation. The vibrant palette and dynamic composition illustrate Carreño’s mature approach, where figuration and modernist structure coexist seamlessly.

In recent years, Carreño’s market has shown notable strength. His performance surpassed the Global Artprice Index in both 2023 and 2024, signaling renewed collector and institutional interest in Latin American modernist painting. As this segment becomes increasingly attractive to global investors, Carreño’s historical relevance and consistent market performance position him as a standout investment opportunity.
