As in the myths, this painting shows a bicephalous in a strange dialogue. One of the creatures is aware of the observer, who is looking at the scene. In return, the personage’s gaze intends to wrap up the observer such as some characters do in “The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp” created by the grand master, Rembrandt (1606-1669, Dutch Republic). — *Bodies Study 10*

The artwork is my interpretation of one the scenes of the story, “The Hell So Dreaded 1” (1) by Juan Carlos Onetti (Uruguay, 1909-1994): “La primera carta, la primera fotografía, le llegó (a la oficina) entre la medianoche y el cierre. (La) vio por sorpresa, no terminó de comprender, (pero) supo que iba a ofrecer cualquier cosa por olvidar lo que había visto.” (The first letter, the first photograph, arrived (to the office) between midnight and the closing time. (…) He saw it by surprise, and did not quietly understanding it, but he knew he was going to offer anything to forget what he had seen.) — *The Hell So Dreaded, 1*

My work intends to picture life with its sometimes dark, dramatic, incomprehensible ways of presenting itself. I try hard to make art that has polysemy or different interpretations by the observers.

In this portrait I looked forward to create the gaze of the male nudes to provoke an emotional response in the observer. This to include him/her in their tragic condition.

I attend to workshops where physical models pose to the participants, but during this Covid period, I haven’t had the chance to do so. So, what I do, among other activities, is remembering these past exercises, and draw/paint them by heart. In most of them I try to achieve the gesture.

Human Body Artwork

Thank you for visiting this collection. You're welcome.

One thing I say with humbleness is that I paint what human life unhides at certain moments and permits me to palpate. Sometimes–when this happens–it is the extraordinary that unfolds, plentiful with deformity and drama. I seek to capture this deranged beauty with polysemous meanings. Within these results, I always search too... to cause a visual impact, a blow, a strike upon the soul of the observer.

My Art Initial Resources

As an artist, I use all the resources I have in hand. This means that I use physical human models, digital photography, chronophotographs (video stills from documentaries), digital images, radiology images, clay and digital sculptures (done by me). The aforementioned means that almost any media can be an initial resource for my work.

Sometimes, I even mix traditional techniques (oil, acrylic) with digital art, such as in Head Study 76. The process of this piece is interesting. I sculpted a human head in Blender (open-source 3D software), duplicated it and merged both pieces. In the same environment, I explored the figure from different points of view (profile, low-angle, high-angle images, etc.). Then selected the one I liked the most. I used the last image as an initial source to paint this portrait in a physical environment with oil on paper.

Art Techniques

The techniques I use are traditional (oil and acrylic, crayon, pencil, clay sculpting, etc.) and digital painting and sculpting (digital tablet, Photoshop, Blender, etc.).
