This mesmerizing mixed media painting exemplifies the highly acclaimed anthropological and conceptual practice of Carlos Capelán. The large-scale canvas balances an intricate composition of an ecorché male figure revealing raw muscle layers with subtle hand-drawn portraits and dense blocks of literary script. Set against a luminous, earth-toned ochre background covered in thousands of dark, rhythmic spots, the piece serves as a profound meditation on memory, territory, and human anatomy.

Capelán's work stands out for its rigorous handling of diverse artistic techniques and procedures, ranging from drawing to installation, including painting, printmaking, photography, and the manipulation of objects. The variety of expressive resources is matched by the multiplicity of interpretations his work evokes in the viewer. Capelán is a nomadic artist who transcends the boundaries of artistic languages ​​as a way of questioning and crossing other boundaries: the political, economic, and cultural ones that compartmentalize our worldview.
Carlos Capelán develops an artistic production with an anthropological bent and a great sensitivity to contemporary issues—related to the political, the social, and the territorial—working in diverse techniques and formats—painting, drawing, printmaking, objects, performances, photography, installations—transforming his artworks into "habitats" characterized by cultural hybridization and synthesis.
