About the work

Constelación Humana is Spanish for "human constellation". Hundreds of pale figures crowd a black ground speckled with fine coloured dots, which gather into a bright cluster at the centre. Bulls move through the crowd, translucent circles float above it, and thin diagonal lines cross the upper half.

In Luces y Sombras, light opens gaps in the dark. Here the figures themselves become the points of light, like stars in a night sky.

About the series

“Amid games of light and shadow, such as those in Luces y sombras, which open up fissures through which one can breathe deeply, colour itself also becomes a matter to move through.”

Domenico de Chirico, curator, catalogue essay, 2026
