Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork depicts a striking and unsettling creature, rendered in bold green and purple lines. The figure has a skeletal, haunting appearance, with a gaping mouth and sinister gestures. The background is filled with ghostly, amorphous shapes in vibrant yellow and pink hues, creating an eerie, otherworldly atmosphere. The artist's use of expressive, gestural brushwork and distorted, surreal forms suggests a dark, imaginative style that explores themes of the macabre and the uncanny. This unconventional, visually striking piece likely reflects the artist's intention to challenge and unsettle the viewer, inviting deeper contemplation of the nature of mortality and the subconscious. ...

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. ...
