ABOUT THE WORK

This portrait is built upon the tension between figure and atmosphere. The palette, dominated by deep blues and earthy shades, creates an expressive field in which the face emerges more as a focus of chromatic density than as a defined identity. Color acts as the main structure: it does not illustrate anatomy but interprets it through contrasts and overlays.

Blue, in its various modulations, grants the artwork a nocturnal and meditative character, while reds and ochres burst forth as warm counterweights that recall the vitality of flesh. This friction between cool and warm ranges produces a vibration that destabilizes the stillness of the portrait.

The ink, applied with a firm and fragmented stroke, barely limits the features and allows the watercolor to invade, overflow, and erode the forms. The result is a face that oscillates between the recognizable and the dissolved, between expressive concreteness and pictorial abstraction.

More than representing an individual, the work proposes a reflection on color as an agent of identity construction and on painting as an unstable surface where chromatic matter becomes the protagonist.

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.
