Self-portrait with model and the still life 1955

Rafael Zabaleta’s *Self-portrait with model and the still life* (1955) is a vibrant Cubist-influenced painting that showcases the artist’s unique style. Zabaleta, known for his bold colors and geometric forms, depicts a nude model, himself, and a still life arrangement within a fragmented space. The composition, with its overlapping shapes and distorted perspectives, reflects the Cubist fascination with multiple viewpoints. Zabaleta's use of flat, saturated colors adds to the painting's dynamism and creates a sense of energy and movement. The artwork, measuring 100 x 80 cm, is a testament to Zabaleta’s mastery of both figuration and abstraction.
