To die of passion

Morir de Pasión articulates a pictorial reflection on the Lamentation, the Deposition, and the Holy Burial as moments in which human pain and the sacred merge. Through Christian iconography, the body of Christ appears as both physical and spiritual weight, a passage between death and the promise of life. The series enters into dialogue with centuries of Western painting, from the Gothic period to contemporary art, moving beyond the evangelical narrative. The title alludes to the vital intensity of painting, understood as an act of absolute surrender. Image and iconography intertwine with the cartography of the painter’s hometown, further advancing the investigation of aerial landscapes and their symbolic charge.
