About the artwork

The digital artwork *Volver Al Origin* depicts a powerfully stylised portrait against a background that is as minimalist as it is evocative. The scene takes place under a clear blue summer sky, which does not allow any clouds, evoking a sense of timelessness and stillness. The portrait is applied to a smooth plastered wall, part of an otherwise invisible building whose architectural context is revealed only by a fragment of a balcony and an open window.

The wall acts as a canvas for the expressive face of a person, rendered in digital brushstrokes that play with colour areas and shadows, without losing themselves in realism. The face, half in profile, exudes power and identity. The striking elements - a shiny nose ring and an ornately designed earring - immediately attract attention and reinforce the character of the person portrayed. These accessories act as symbolic anchors in an otherwise stylised depiction; they suggest cultural connection and personal expression.

The title *Volver Al Origin*, Spanish for "Back to the Origin", emphasises the theme of identity, origin and authenticity. The work invites the viewer to reflect on the layering of self-image and memory, embedded in a modern, digital visual language. The interplay of architecture, portrait and colour surface creates a poetic balance between man and environment, between past and present, between form and meaning.
