Artwork Statement

Mixing the bodypaint technique with the photographic negative and rescuing textures and colors by inverting the photograph, a visual experience that transcends time and space is created. The skin, turned into a living canvas, is adorned with intricate patterns that evoke ancestral symbols, representing multiplication and growth. By using the photographic negative, the artist plays with light and shadow, transforming the perception of the image. The vibrant colors of the bodypaint become deep shadows, while the empty areas glow with an almost ethereal luminosity. This duality not only highlights the beauty of the human body, but also symbolizes the cycle of life: birth, expansion and the connection between all beings.

The work invites you to reflect on your own roots and the role you play in the vast fabric of existence. Through this innovative mix of techniques, it celebrates the essence of multiplication and growth, reminding us that each of us is part of a greater, constantly evolving whole.
