As a creator, I’m interested in abnormality, deformity and its effects in human life. The persons that lose one of their five senses or were born missing one of them call my interest.

The gaze of the nude characters intend to provoke an emotional response in the observer. This to include him or her in their tragic condition. I took this portraiture's principle of art from Rembrandt's "Syndics of the Drapers' Guild", where the characters stare at the observer and that action makes the latter participate in what's happening in the masterpiece. — *Bodies Study 63*

As a creator, I’ve always been concerned with abnormality and its effects in human life. To create this work, I read and watched testimonials of persons united in the same body living “intersected lives”. I created this work with deep respect for these persons. — *Bicephalous Study 8*

Some of my art interests are dramatic scenes related to people being interviewed. I based this work on the fearsome illness known as schizophrenia.

This multiple body-the bodies of a bicephalous-made up by a whitish and blue bi-chromatic mass, almost like a clay sketch prior to the volume of the sculpture, shows its painful nudity.

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. So, I only point in a direction without defining a destiny. The journey has to be made by the re-creator. — *Woman’s Torso 14*

The artwork is a rushy acrylic painting with dramatic dark strokes. One of the things I try to portray is the dynamism of the figure. I title many of my works with abstract names without attending to the drama they show. This is an influence I have from the great 20th century painter, Francis Bacon. — *Body Study 67*

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.

I attend workshops where I practice the human body with a physical model. Days after, I rehearse those exercises by heart.

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-in every artwork–, I use all the resources I have in hand. This means that I indistinctly use resources, such as human models, digital photography, chronophotos (video stills), digital images, radiology image archives, clay and also digital sculptures (done in Blender) and traditional techniques: oil, acrylic o canvas or on paper. 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 work from different points of view, such as profile, above, and below, etc. I then selected the one I liked most. I used the final 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 (digital tablet, Photoshop, 3D sculpture, etc.).
