Lost Kid - Ripe

ABOUT THE WORK
Imposing and uncompromising, this figure occupies space with a body in tension, leaning and defiant, caught between collapse and resistance. The exaggerated musculature, in layers of sienna, green, and crimson, seems to radiate an inner fire, evoking Egon Schiele's expressive tradition with a contemporary and visceral gaze.

Gouache, watercolor, and inks intertwine on a thick-textured paper, where the surface becomes part of the story. Striped blues and torn whites suggest a fractured sky or a broken wall, while the ground, stained with reds and grays, adds an almost theatrical drama.

The color, deliberately unreal, enhances the emotional charge of the pose. The almost nudity conveys vulnerability, but the posture reflects strength: a male body between abstraction and corporeality, between the scene and solitude.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Born in Madrid, I combined my passion for computing and art for 20 years as an art director in the video game industry, receiving international recognition.

I began my journey as a visual artist in 2022, using painting as a means of healing from physical and emotional pain. Since then, color, abstraction, and male anatomy have become the pillars of my work. I explore the male body from a homoerotic perspective and use abstraction to convey emotions, experiences, and internal states that words cannot express. My constant search for new techniques and materials reflects my desire to push visual boundaries, allowing each piece to be open to interpretation and personal connection by each viewer.

Today, several of my pieces are in private collections in cities such as Madrid, Berlin, Amsterdam, Milan, Paris, Los Angeles, Krakow, Rome, or Washington.
