Description
Pablo Mejias’ oeuvre centres on themes of death, eroticism, and metaphysics, often exploring the human condition. Mejias depicts hellscapes, a glimpse into human desire and fears, which invite viewers to confront the ineffable and the complexities of existence.
Mejias predominately works with oil paint on canvas, but he occasionally produces oil on paper artworks, such as this Personaje Imaginario painting (this title means ‘imaginary character’ in English). His work always resonates with dark and unsettling themes, where the grotesque and the fantastic intertwine. Inspired by personal trauma, particularly the loss of his brother at a young age, Mejias delves into the human psyche, depicting turmoil and existential angst.
This personaje imaginario painting features a bright, orange abstract background against which a figure’s naked torso twists and writhes with emotional intensity. Using short textured brushstrokes in brown, red and white tones, the abstract portrayal evokes a sense of melancholy, drawing viewers into the depths of the human condition.
