The sublime masterwork showcases a remarkable composition filled with visual subtlety and poetic restraint in Carlos Capelán’s career. This compelling mixed media painting stands out due to its floating, disconnected arrangement of biomorphic elements suspended over a clean, light canvas backdrop, conveying a profound sense of weightlessness and archaic mysticism. Within the prominent central shape, a fragmented countenance is rendered through fluid, maze-like black lines, while the upper sections protect delicate ovoid fields covered in dense, handwritten intellectual notations.

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.
