In this moving work, Reinier García manages to capture more than just the appearance of his friend Toledano. The portrait, rendered with impeccable skill, shows an adult man with a hat and moustache, radiating joviality despite his progressive loss of vision. The precise lines and attention to detail reflect not only a faithful reproduction of the subject, but also a deep emotional connection. The light in the eyes of the sitter, although slowly extinguished, shines with an inner vitality that resonates throughout the painting. The result is a powerful testimony of friendship and resilience, materialized in a work that shines with humanity and hope.

He has participated in various exhibitions and cultural events. He is a lover of drawing where through strokes, stains and contrasts, he gives life to works that touch the heart.
