This artwork presents a vivid portrayal of human form and emotion, capturing a dynamic and somewhat eerie interaction between two figures. On the left, a nude male figure is depicted in a state that appears suspended between motion and stillness. His posture is slightly tilted, contributing to a sense of vulnerability and tension. The use of light accentuates the contours of his muscular structure, creating a powerful contrast against the softer, shadowed background. To the right, a clothed figure, shrouded in darker tones, reaches towards the male figure. This interaction introduces a narrative ambiguity, suggesting themes of connection, separation, or intervention. The lighting on this figure is subtle, enhancing the intrigue and mystery surrounding her intentions. The backdrop of the artwork is intentionally blurred, drawing focus to the figures while providing a surreal, dreamlike atmosphere. This ethereal quality is further amplified by a play of colors reminiscent of a twilight horizon, which enhances the emotional depth of the scene. The artwork's unique aspect lies in its ability to capture motion and emotion simultaneously, inviting viewers to reflect on the nature of human connection and the delicate balance between vulnerability and strength. Through its masterful use of lighting, posture, and shadow, the piece leaves a lingering impact, encouraging contemplation well beyond the initial viewing.

Mauricio Velez, Untitled VII
Colombia  • 1971

Presentation

Mauricio Velez was born and lives in Colombia. He was trained at the European Institute of Design in Italy. Since then, he has worked on a large number of projects in Latin America, the United States and Spain, offering, through his personal prism - images which he seeks to refine the sensitivity and perception of the viewer towards religious icons, art, and the human body.

His work confronts the viewer with a sense of aesthetics that balances between the spiritually inspired and the disturbed.

"In few photographers like Mauricio Velez does aesthetic become ethic. Every portrait scene is seamless. Every composition is an impeccable piece: the light, gesture, even the preference in models. Nothing can be discredited of the photographic style neither the clean technic. And for this aesthetic perfection, the message lends to the viewer in its pure state."
