About the Item
"I Am Not Alone" by Joshua Salami is a captivating artwork that delves into the profound bond between a woman and her cherished pet, transcending the conventional role of a companion. The piece skillfully captures the essence of the fundamental importance of pets as friends, emphasizing the unique and special connection shared between the two.
At the heart of the artwork is a portrayal of a lady immersed in a beautiful, strong, and appealing atmosphere, accompanied solely by her beloved pet. The scene not only celebrates the companionship of a pet but also elevates it to a level of deep emotional connection and understanding. The pet in focus isn't just any companion but holds the status of being the woman's favorite, to the extent that she affectionately refers to him as her "boyfriend."
This clever twist in the narrative adds layers of meaning to the artwork, emphasizing the strength of the bond and the intimate nature of the relationship. The choice of referring to the pet as a "boyfriend" goes beyond the ordinary and underscores the extent to which pets can become an integral part of one's life, providing not only companionship but also emotional support and understanding.
Salami's work skillfully captures the silent communication and mutual understanding that exists between the lady and her pet. The use of visual elements creates a narrative that resonates with viewers, inviting them to reflect on the unique and irreplaceable roles that pets can play in our lives. "I Am Not Alone" stands as a testament to the power of the human-animal bond and the comfort that can be found in the company of a beloved pet.

"HOME FIRE
OIL ON CANVAS, SIGNED
CUBAN-AMERICAN, C.2006
20 X 16 INCHES
Home Fire" brings me back to my childhood home when my grandpa visited us every day smoking his pipe and conversing good moments.
Yuri Martinez Ramos was born in Havana, Cuba on November 24, 1964.
He studied at the Elemental School of Plastic Arts from 1975 – 1979 and the National School of the Arts from 1979 – 1983.
Martinez’ figurative paintings have been compared to Botero because of his satirical social commentary. His style, however, is uniquely his own with typically vibrant Latin colors and use of expressive magical realism. His paintings tell his story and the story of the Cuban dilemma.
Martinez was granted permission by the US Justice Department after much effort with Cuban authorities to come to the US with his family and pursue his career outside Cuba. He now lives and works in Texas.
