About The Artwork
Characters from local oral stories were my inspiration for this artwork. In my childhood, I heard tales of the Kikirimiau (Cat-Ruster), the Vampire of Moca, the Pichu-Pichu (a sea creature), the Cara-Diablo (Devil-Face creature), and many others. These imaginary creatures and many more were part of the mood of this painting. I employ subtle textures with variations of tones and colors to emphasize the fantasy element in this piece. In my depiction of a woman riding a large cat, I symbolize how memories of an era of fantasies and innocence come together again in time. This piece is part of my Fantasies of Time series.
Overview of the painting
• A woman riding an enormous feline walks at night while holding an hourglass. • Painting Name: “La Noche del Gato-Ballo” (The Night of the Cat-Horse) • Original acrylic painting signed by the artist Pablo Montes O'Neill • It has 1 1/2″ thick sides/stretcher painted to coordinate with the artwork, so framing is optional, although it would look gorgeous with a proper floating frame. • The canvas art is wired on the back, ready to hang.

Puerto Rico
I seek to project authentic, intimate interpretations of the world I encounter. As a native of Puerto Rico, I am influenced by the characters, emotions, images, and colors associated with the island. Sometimes I turn to my childhood memories to address the existential questions I want to express. I've recently explored the concepts of time, energy, light, and space through my paintings and drawings. This has led me to work with hybrid subjects and media that can converge figuration with traits of abstraction and surrealism. I use symbolism and distortions to bridge the figures and their environment, creating scenes where surrounding energies and time metaphors serve as the glue of an idea.
