About The Artwork
Guarded depicts a beautiful woman with boxing gloves. The model poses with the gloves on the side of her face as if she were guarding herself. The model stares aimlessly down in a contemplative state. This piece was built up by first applying a dark tone on all the canvas by mixing ivory black with cadmium yellow (with acrylic paint). The thin paint was then pushed and pulled with a squeegee to create interesting textures which can be appreciated towards the lower half of the piece. The face was slowly built up with oil paints. I wanted to emphasize the beautiful expression on the models face. To achieve this I dedicated time to the face and allowed the rest of the painting to be defined with quick solutions. The result of the piece is that of a realistic and expressionistic approach.

United States
Carlos Antonio Rancaño was born in Miami, FL. from Cuban/Panamanian parents. After graduating Cum Laude from MIU with a Bachelors Degree in Graphic Design, he started his career in Advertising. Even though he was always keen to drawing, it was the strict rules of design that gave way to his paintings. The free spirit that lives in his work is a direct response to the more simplistic approach of Graphic Design. His work is saturated with bright, warm colors and sharp, rigid brush strokes serving as a pedestal to the subjects in his work. Spreading from an array of themes, like bold portraits of women to African child soldiers, his work is never well-worn. Carlos Antonio has participated in various exhibitions across South Florida, as he continuous to establish himself as a premier artist.
