In this striking artwork, a meticulously detailed black-and-white illustration features a human skeleton standing in the foreground with an intricately rendered rhinoceros in the backdrop. The starkness of the monochromatic scheme is dramatically interrupted by a vivid, textured red ellipse positioned diagonally across the skeletal figure's torso. This bold use of color contrasts sharply with the gray tones, drawing immediate attention and provoking contemplation about the relationship between life, death, and vitality. The juxtaposition of the human skeleton and the rhino suggests themes of evolution, coexistence, or perhaps the fragility of life. The red ellipse, applied with evident texture, might symbolize a wound, a heart, or an abstract form of expression, challenging viewers to derive their interpretations. This artwork confidently merges classical illustrative techniques with contemporary abstract elements, resulting in a compelling visual narrative that invites deep reflection.
Untitled 2015, Ana Seggiaro From the series "Anatomy" Embroidery on printed cloth 130 cm H x 90 cm W Unframed.
Seggiaro's fascination for the human body, for the movement of the muscles, the bone structure, and the circulatory system coexists perfectly with the arteries of red linen, with the spills of silk and the textile vapors that Seggiaro infuses into these open bodies. In his series, the thread plays multiple roles and acquires different meanings. On his characters, the embroidery sometimes resembles a surgical seam or becomes the circulatory system of a dissected body, a fantastic intervention capable of reviving the exhumed bodies of the Dutch anatomist Bernhard Sigfried Albinus.

Tending relations between geographically distant cultures and, at the same time, stressing the temporal gap that separates them, is the meaning of Ana Seggiaro's work, based on the engravings of Alberto Dürer, Piranesi and Albinus.
For the artist, European art is the paradigm that she has built, from that training she has resignified her works, submitting them to her consideration and leaving an embroidered mark that marks a different path from the one originally created.
In the process of creation, she takes the images that interest her, investigates its history, answers questions such as what the artist wanted to say or if she simply made it by chance. The next thing is to photograph it and modify it digitally, either by adding color or removing details to create a collage. Once the final image has been decided, a print is made on fine art canvas to begin the hand embroidery process. In the last year, in addition to embroidering, she has decided to paint over the image.
Ana Seggiaro was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Initially pictorial in nature, in its different stages, her work was exploring and incorporating new materials and media that complemented the oil and engraving that are the basis of its origin. She graduated in drawing and engraving from the Prilidiano Pueyrredón National School of Fine Arts in 1988.
