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.

Tan Solo Era Un Niño is oil on canvas, which is typical of Mejias work. His subjects resonate 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.

Tan Solo Era Un Niño features a small child, depicted in haunting blue hues with only their head and shoulders visible, adorned with delicate flowers in their hair, suggesting innocence and vulnerability. Above, a bird suspended by its foot, seemingly falling against a backdrop of block yellow, symbolises the weight of loss and grief, suggesting a narrative of remembrance and longing for Mejias’ departed younger brother.
