    Description

    "The Knave of Hearts", from Underland, a series deeply rooted in the essence of “Alice in Wonderland”.

    The Knave of Hearts assumes the role of a ruthless butcher. His right hand firmly grips a sharpened knife, while in his left hand, he disdainfully displays a heart that moments ago was beating. This symbolism delves into the most perverse and sinister nature of the character, revealing his willingness to deploy any stratagem to satisfy the darkest desires of the Red Queen.

    The knife, emblematic of his skill in the art of violence, serves as a reminder of his readiness to challenge limits and transgress boundaries, while also reflecting the coldness of his determination.

    However, it is in the hand that holds the heart where the true essence of this hired killer is revealed: the brutality of his actions and his willingness to execute the Queen's orders without hesitation. The intense gaze of the Knave of Hearts adds a layer of complicity, inviting the viewer to question their own inclinations towards darkness.

  • About this artist

    Concept

    "Why this? Why now? Why me?”

    These are some of the questions that may arise when viewing my artwork. It offers an intimate visual form of my struggles in my journey of self-discovery.

    Through my art, I confront the fears that we, as human beings, often keep quiet about. I draw inspiration from biblical passages and sin, reimagining the lives and deaths of saints and non-saints alike. I intertwine grief and uncertainty, sublimating from lust to catharsis, and immersing myself in classic stories and characters. I also submit to the hard and critical reflection of self-portraiture. Thus, I adapt classic archetypes, genres, and styles to revisit and reinterpret themes that persist and remain contemporary.

    I see light as an element that cannot be perceived in the absence of shadow and darkness, just as fear, anger, anxiety, and sadness cannot be understood without a glimmer of hope. I give expression to suffering, emptiness, loss, and abandonment, creating a space filled with loneliness where love, rebirth, and redemption are juxtaposed.

    My art portrays the rawest and most authentic emotions of human reality, challenging our prejudices while appealing to our humanity.
