About this artwork

The artist is inspired by a true story that happens in his birth city, he presents us with a work where the death of a girl is caused by a stray bullet, the girl was playing in her house and in a second, her life goes out, The mother's pain makes the artist reflect in order to wonder if the fate of such an absurd death is presented to us by life to remind us that we are passing through. The work is presented in a vibrant way with a lot of color,… where the artist imagines that moment where the mother has her daughter in her arms and asks God... Why? That moment of pain leads the artist to paint a work as annoying and terrible as dying from a stray bullet...

« The rules are imposed by my mind. »

Néstor Neyret's work focuses on the human figure as an emotional territory. Through a contemporary figuration rooted in Cubism, the artist fragments faces and bodies to explore identity, vulnerability, and the inner tension of the modern individual.
Her characters don't narrate actions; they inhabit states of being. Waiting, sadness, memory, and resistance appear as silent presences. The face becomes a psychological map, and the body a symbolic structure where the intimate and the social coexist.
Fragmentation does not respond to a formal search but to an existential condition: the contemporary subject appears traversed by invisible forces —emotional, social and temporal— that configure him.
The intense color and sharp outlines don't function as ornamentation, but as boundaries and pressure. Each chromatic plane defines an emotion. Each line contains a tension. His work constructs human archetypes rather than individual portraits.
