Description
"Ego" is a work with a strong symbolic and emotional charge that places the viewer in front of a central male figure, bare of artifices and elevated to a nearly ritual position. The exposed and vulnerable body adopts a posture that alludes both to sacrifice and the exaltation of the self. Arms open, torso upright, face raised in an ambiguous gesture between surrender and challenge.
The vertical composition reinforces the idea of ascension, while the secondary figures surrounding it, darker and almost dissolved into the pictorial matter, seem to succumb to the protagonist, suggesting a constant tension between dependence and power. The cloth partially covering the body introduces a dialogue with classical iconography, but here it is reinterpreted from a contemporary and more intimate perspective.
Ego does not propose a simple celebration of the self, but rather a reflection on its weight, fragility, and need to be seen. The work confronts the viewer with the paradox of the human ego, a source of identity and strength, but also of loneliness and sacrifice.

Seller's Story
Cosmin Marian Guta (1994) is a Romanian contemporary artist whose work lies at the intersection of figurative painting, mythology, and emotional exploration. His work stands out for its strong symbolic charge and intense aesthetic, where the human figure becomes a vehicle for psychological and timeless narratives.
She studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome, where she completed her studies in 2020 with the highest grade. During her academic period, she broadened her artistic perspective through an Erasmus program in Barcelona, at EASD Llotja, a city that would later become a key point in her professional development. In Barcelona, she also interned at the RocíoSantaCruz gallery, an experience that strengthened her direct contact with the contemporary art circuit.
Guta's work is characterized by the use of mixed media techniques on canvas, combining oil, acrylic, ink, and pastel. Her compositions, of great visual impact, explore themes such as identity, myth, the body, and deep emotional states, creating scenes filled with tension, symbolism, and an almost dreamlike atmosphere.
He has presented his work in solo exhibitions at cultural spaces in Barcelona such as Cotxeres de Sants (2022 and 2024), and has participated in international art events like Rome Art Week in Rome. He has also been part of numerous group exhibitions in Spain and Italy, including projects linked to institutions and museums such as the Museo Andersen in Rome.
