Echo (2025)Oil painting by Antonio Cruz

Echo is a contemporary portrait of the American buffalo—majestic, grounded, and rendered in striking realism, yet gently interrupted by two abstract blue markings across its body. These vivid strokes are not random; they act as echoes of something fading—symbols of fragility, memory, and time itself.
Set against a bold Naples yellow background, the painting balances organic strength with graphic contrast, inviting viewers to reflect on what we carry forward and what is already slipping away. The composition speaks in subtle tension: tradition meets abstraction, nature meets narrative, and power meets vulnerability.
This piece is both a tribute and a question—what remains when the thundering herds fall silent? Echo invites collectors who appreciate modern, emotionally intelligent works with layered meaning and timeless form.
