This work, dated and localized manually as \u003cb\u003e\"La Habana, III\/87\"\u003c\/b\u003e (March 1987), is not a simple landscape; it is an \"archeology of the moment.\" Serrán Pagán does not paint what he sees, but what he feels: the charged atmosphere, the humidity, and the history accumulated on the walls of the Caribbean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eVisually, the piece is presented as an \u003cb\u003eold document or a found map\u003c\/b\u003e. The artist has treated the paper with washes of ochre, sienna, and earth to simulate premature aging, evoking the patina of the flaking colonial walls of Old Havana. On this atmospheric base, he constructs a central composition enclosed in an irregular black frame, where graphics reminiscent of ancient calligraphy, flags, or frayed boat sails float.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eThe technique is a \u003cb\u003ecomplex mixed media on paper\u003c\/b\u003e. The use of greasy inks for dense blacks, fluid washes for the background, and touches of pure pigment (yellows, reds, blues) that vibrate against the warmth of the support can be observed. The inclusion of the numbering \u003cb\u003e6\/12\u003c\/b\u003e within a personalized circular stamp with the artist's \"G\" in the lower-left corner integrates the technical data as part of the composition, giving it the character of a \"postal shipment\" or certified document.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eWhy is this piece an opportunity for your collection?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eExtreme Exclusivity (Edition 6\/12):\u003c\/b\u003e In the graphic art market, print runs of 75, 100, or 200 copies are common.

Serrán Pagán has the gift of aging paper so that it tells stories. Seeing the number \u003cb\u003e6\/12\u003c\/b\u003e, I understood that I was looking at something special: he didn't make this to sell in bulk; he made it to share a travel experience with very few people. Those impasto blacks against the ochre background have incredible tactile strength. It's a work for those who love maps, travel, and stories that can be read between the lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-path-to-node=\"15\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"16\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes Collector's Dossier:\u003c\/strong\u003e This artwork comes with a technical sheet and historical context prepared and printed by El Taller del Coleccionista, certifying our research.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"El taller del coleccionista","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52804497113421,"sku":null,"price":1125.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0904\/1841\/3901\/files\/imagen_2025-11-20_190106184.png?v=1763661672","url":"https:\/\/eltallerdelcoleccionista.com\/en\/products\/gines-serran-pagan-composicion-habana-1987","provider":"El taller del coleccionista","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
