▷ Xenestela 9. From The Series Xenestela by Fredy Saul Serrano, 2019 | Mixed Media Painting Place Order

This captivating artwork showcases a striking composition that seamlessly blends elements of futuristic and traditional design. Dominated by vivid blues and interspersed with golden accents, the piece resembles a mask or ornate helmet, suggestive of a technological deity. The intricately layered textures create a sense of depth and movement, drawing the viewer’s gaze toward the central, eye-like structures. These “eyes,” embellished with concentric circles, give the piece an enigmatic aura, evoking themes of perception and awareness. The symmetrical arrangement and the use of metallic sheen highlight the artist’s precision and attention to detail. This artwork stands out for its bold color palette and the harmonious integration of geometric and organic shapes, offering a unique, thought-provoking visual experience that challenges the boundaries between the digital and natural worlds.

Exuberantly colorful, symmetric colleges with ovoid shapes, called emissaries, originate from another cosmic dimension. We are troubled by the unsettling apprehension that they may become the presence of space beings who, in command, will govern the new laws of nature of the future.

Serrano’s artistic work centers on an interest in exploring his territory and its representation. In recent years, he has focused on the natural sciences as an object of study for his research and creation, seeking to establish connections between remembered events and other fictions in his imagination. This line of work emerges from the investigations he has conducted in a territory called Laguna, whose meaning expands into synonyms and/or other definitions of the word—for example, when speaking of a “mental gap”—which are translated into the visual metaphors of this place, constructed from childhood memories.
