For our collection, Tymon painted one of his iconic portraits featuring people he met when traveling across Latin America. This painting is a contemporary take on Cuban culture, using his signature style on the edge of realism and surrealism.

“This is the portrait of a Cuban girl called Jennifer Esquivel. She was the daughter of the cleaner at one of the places we stayed at in Cuba.” / Tymon de Laat
