Description
This diptych artwork presents a striking exploration of human form and introspection. Each panel features a nude figure, modestly posed against a neutral background, holding a symbolic skull—a nod to memento mori themes. The composition skillfully uses light and shadow, accentuating the contours of the body and adding depth to the figures' reflective expressions. The minimalist backdrop serves to focus attention entirely on the subject, imbuing the piece with a sense of intimacy and vulnerability. The clever segmentation of the images within expansive white space creates a contemplative atmosphere, allowing viewers to ponder the duality of life and mortality. This work stands out for its sophisticated interplay of symbolism, emotion, and stark aesthetics, offering a profound visual narrative that transcends the simplicity of its composition.Bodegon Mauricio Feb 1 Diptych, 2000 by Celso José Castro Daza

Signed, titled and dated by the artist
The root of these unique photographic works by the artist Celso Castro occurred when the artist returned from Italy to live back in Colombia in 1987.
Castro wanted to produce from the photographs he took with his camera larger versions of those pieces, but having only registered his models with a single photograph it was impossible to achieve, given this need he adopts the language of fractionation completing the message he wants to transmit through his work.
Castro perfected his technique throughout the years, now on he takes a number of photographs of his subject, which are then assembled to conform a unique photo collage without distortion of the main image, gluing all the images on a single sheet of archival paper, the final work consisted of the perfect graduation of many photographs to achieve his monumental man.
Presentation
Celso Castro is a reference in Colombian Caribbean plastic arts who has drawn, painted, sculpted and photographed penises for more than four decades.
In his works, Castro exalts the male genitalia, putting into tension the limits imposed by the sex/gender system that are part of an unquestioned patriarchal and phallocentric order. Most men
The ones he portrays are inhabitants of the Colombian coast, also constructing alternative ways of conceiving Latin American identity.
By breaking taboos on corporality and male sexuality, his work has been censored on many occasions due to public accusations of immorality and pornography.
