Wilfried Raguel - Combustion

In Combustion, Wilfried Raguel portrays a young character whose vacant gaze unleashes two incandescent red organic forms, evoking an inner combustion. The contrast between the intense blue of the background, the cool tones of the face and the power of the red forms creates a striking visual tension.
Between figuration and imagination, this painting questions identity, emotions and what eludes the gaze.

French artist based in Madrid and a graduate of the Beaux-Arts in Bordeaux, Wilfried Raguel develops work around portrait, identity and representation. This work was notably presented during his solo exhibition Beyond the Gaze, at the Passevite gallery in Lisbon, Portugal, in 2024.
