ART AND RADIOLOGY ARTWORK

The mutilated and decomposed body intends to provoke an aesthetical impression in the re-creator. The proposed anatomical geometry creates an interaction between the bones, flesh and cavities and they work altogether in a system, an organic one. The size of the piece (medium format) intends to achieve the referred visual impact.
This artwork bases in a radiographic medical study done to a Jane or John Doe, and displays the severity of the procedure. The intervention, as we can appreciate, has an obscure side where pain and temporality discloses.

Just like some paints exhibit a flying bird among the white clouds, this artwork exposes–with all its drama–a "human landscape", which is an inner sight of a congenital illness that deforms the body. The initial sources of this artwork are diverse X-rays medical studies done to an anonymous person.

The artwork is a portrait of an anonymous, sick, genderless character that reveals its tragic and temporary carnal material. The initial source of this work is an MRI, whose acronym, as we may know, stands for Magnetic Resonance Imaging. I use abstract titles for my work far away from the emotions they arouse in the observer, such as the painter Francis Bacon did (https://www.francis-bacon.com/paintings). But this work could have had another title, “The Indomitable”, referring to a sickness–cancer–or to the nickname that the MRI’s inventor gave to his scanning medical machine.

The artwork displays the cranial fossa of Jane or John Doe. This is, the piece exhibits the carnal material of a genderless, anonymous, sick human body. I based the artwork on radiological coronal “cuts” (front views) medical studies performed on anonymous persons.

My work has a strong influence of the painter Francis Bacon (1909-1992), who used in some of his works X-ray images made to human bodies. I find this initial resource fascinating and, therefore, I search in nowadays medical imaging to capture the interior of the human body. This artwork explores the interior of a deteriorated human body with an unnatural apparatus that intends to make it recover its functions.

As an artist, the titles I use in each painting seek–like the great painter did, Francis Bacon–, to be referrals far away from the emotion they can arouse in the observer. They are abstract names for abnormal human conditions. “Deviation of the Spine, Study 8” shows the frantic beauty of the inner structure of a sick human body.

This artwork displays a human torso which–through the tissues, bones and cavities–works like in a system, an organic and a deteriorated one. The medium close-up of the body invites the observer to have an active role, as to feel, and by this, to provoke in him/her an aesthetical experience.

The initial resource of this artwork is an X-ray medical study which exposes an injured human spine. This piece intends to capture the drama of this tough reality. Another way to describe this severe condition is to make the analogy with a collapsed cathedral.

Beauty is in many places. One of these sites is the interior of a human body, a Jane Doe’s or John Doe’s. “Spine Study 2” is an artwork which shows a deteriorated set of tissues and bones. The elements, its colors and shapes seek to achieve beauty, a frantic one.

Art and Radiology Artwork

I hope you enjoy my visual art gallery: Art and Radiology. 

The man and its precarious condition (temporality, loss...) is the central topic of my work. Some initial resources that I use in my work are radiological medical studies done to persons. I like to call the results of my work as “Human Landscapes”. By this I mean to explore the carnal material that we humans are made from.

My Pictorial Currents

Because of the above mentioned, the pictorial currents of my work are figurative and abstract. Sometimes, my work stands right in the middle: it's semi-figurative or else semi-abstract.

On the other hand, the media and techniques of my choice are oil, acrylic on canvas or paper in medium and small format (70 square inches up to 8 by 11 inches).

My Art Influences

My artistic influences are Mexican, American and European painters. One strong art influence that I have is Francis Bacon artist, who in some of his works used  X-ray images made to human and animals. 

Art and Radiology 

I find X-rays fascinating as initial art resources, and therefore, I use them to capture the interior of the human body.

In this way, the hip, the rib cage, the skull, the spine, the hands, the heart, and lungs are some organs of the human body that I explore in my pictorial work.
