El habano, el mejor (2015) By Martin Engler, a 70 x 100 cm painting uses tobacco and monotype to pay homage to the Cuban cigar. The tobacco leaves, integrated into the composition, bring a raw texture and warm tones, evoking the authenticity and craftsmanship of the cigar. The monotype technique creates unique forms, reminiscent of the ephemeral nature of this iconic object. Here, Engler celebrates the 'habano' as a symbol of culture and expertise, blending art and material in a sensory, textured work.
