“Uncle Fidel” is an original, signed portrait painting by contemporary artist Bombgartner, created in 2016. Executed in a restrained monochrome palette on stretched canvas, the work presents a confrontational, charismatic figure rendered with expressive linework and textured brushstrokes.

The subject’s direct gaze, heavy brow, and prominent cigar establish a charged, cinematic presence. The artist balances looseness with control, allowing the eyes and facial structure to carry the psychological weight of the portrait while the cigar functions as a symbol of authority, defiance, and character rather than a casual prop. The title “Uncle Fidel” operates as a conceptual character reference, evoking attitude and atmosphere rather than depicting any specific historical individual.

The painting is signed on the front and titled, dated, and signed on the reverse, confirming authorship and completion date. The canvas measures approximately 10 × 8 inches and is properly stretched on a wooden frame. Condition is very good, with no warping or damage observed.

Photographs include both a neutral presentation of the artwork and a styled setting used to emphasize the tone and character of the piece. Artwork is offered unframed.
