Nelson De La Nuez is one of the most sought-after contemporary Pop artists practicing today. His striking, vivid mixed media artwork borrows motifs and messages from the language of wealth, power, fame, excess, taste, and access to cast a narrative about modern society. Known to many as The King of Pop Art, De La Nuez is an innate iconoclast, elevating themes from commerce, pop culture, advertising, and branding to provide commentary on our culture—showing us that the entire world is for sale—in a manner that is both ironic and aspirational.
Nelson De La Nuez’s artwork, "Just One More," is a captivating mixed-media piece that blends retro glamor, pop culture, and vintage nostalgia. The composition features a striking, cartoon-inspired woman in a bold red dress, with perfectly coiffed black hair and dazzling diamond jewelry, evoking the timeless elegance of mid-century Hollywood. She holds a champagne flute in one hand and a Moët & Chandon champagne bottle in the other, exuding sophistication and indulgence. The background is a vibrantly printed collage of vintage advertisements, nightclub posters, and retro entertainment memorabilia, with text and imagery that reflect an era of glitz, entertainment, and revelry.
De La Nuez’s signature style of layering nostalgic imagery with bold, pop art graphics is on full display here, creating a work that is both glamorous and thought-provoking. The vibrant colors, meticulous details, and humorous undertones make this piece a dynamic statement on indulgence and the timeless allure of luxury.

Included in the “Who’s Who List of the Most Collected Artists of Our Time '', De La Nuez was born in Cuba and moved as a child to California, where he was initially introduced to many of the iconic images that he uses in his art to this day. His ability to experience these important cultural touchpoints at such a young age with a purely fresh perspective allows him a distinctive point of view—one that is both critical and embracing, sardonic and sentimental—that lends his work an air of accessibility and curiosity and has led to his significant popularity.
