Mar de sangre under UV light

Mar de sangre establishes a connection between body and landscape, understanding both as territories in transformation. The painting proposes a dual perception—daylight and nocturnal—that expands the viewer’s experience and extends the life of the work beyond its visible surface.

It is part of my ongoing research into light, color, and pictorial time. For years, I have worked with neon pigments and ultraviolet light, exploring how to activate hidden layers and generate a sense of moving perception.

Conceived as a physical and emotional process, Mar de sangre invites the viewer to transform anger into pleasure and to traverse a landscape that pulses, vibrates, and overflows the limits of the frame.

This work forms part of a personal exploration focused on the cycle of death, transformation, and plenitude, allowing me to move between the visible and the hidden, and to create imaginary landscapes that are deeply human.
