About the Item

Striking Expressionist portrait painting by Héctor Najera (Mexican, 1931–2004), executed in oil on board. Born in Monterrey, Mexico, Najera was known for his emotionally charged, figurative works that explore identity, introspection, and the psychological landscape of the human condition. This powerful close-up of a face is rendered in bold strokes of ochre, red, and black, with exaggerated, haunting eyes and stylized features. The artist’s distinctive brushwork and expressive use of color evoke themes of vulnerability and intensity, emblematic of 20th-century Mexican modernism. The painting is signed "Najera" lower left and presented in its original vintage frame with a wide linen mat and antiqued gilt molding, adding textural contrast to the vivid energy of the composition.
