ENCUENTRO CON LOS MIEDOS

​

In this art work, the artist immerses us in a surreal landscape where family fears are intertwined with everyday reality. The blue-green background suggests an enigmatic atmosphere, while the red living room in the center stands out as a focal point of the composition. In the center, a strange being wears an elegant blue suit, with his feet crossed, symbolizing the constant presence of fears in our lives.

Behind him, another similar being, whose torso is visible, appears to be watching from the shadows, representing the hidden nature of our fears. The dry and desolate landscape on the right side contrasts with the darkness and density of fears that blend into the environment, symbolizing the way our fears can influence our perception of the world around us. The fur and mosses that intertwine with the green landscape represent the complexity of familiar fears, which are sometimes hidden beneath the surface, but are always present, affecting our lives in a tangible way.
