Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork features a striking, skeletal figure with long, flowing black hair. The predominantly monochromatic color scheme, with shades of beige and black, creates a haunting, otherworldly atmosphere. The figure's distorted, bony limbs and sunken facial features evoke a sense of mortality and the macabre. The composition, with the figure's limbs positioned in a dynamic, twisting pose, suggests a sense of movement and restlessness. The artist's use of unconventional materials, such as the incorporation of natural elements like feathers, adds to the piece's unsettling and surreal quality. This work likely explores themes of death, the human condition, and the fragility of existence. ...

Artist

Roger Muñoz

1990

Roger Muñoz (b. 1990, Costa Rica). He uses grim humor as a critical tool to project and visualize narratives related to power, monstrosity, and decadence. His practice is developed mainly through a pictorial perspective that branches out to other media such as video, installation, and transvestite performance.Through these media, he stages narratives of death and cruelty, social archetypes, and mythological relationships to unveil social class tensions and power dynamics. His work intersects dark humor, goth culture, and horror sub- cultures, on the other hand, with orientalism and latin american pop culture, on the other. We can think of his work as a sort of projection of tropical horror anchored in his country’s landscapes, trash TV, popular culture, the remnants of its underground subcultures, and horror movies. Roger's work thus reflects a global-era blend of developed-country imported culture and the native cultural context I was immersed in. ...
