About this artwork
In Drowned Light, a solitary male figure appears suspended in a pale, almost empty space. His arms conceal his face, while the lower part of his body gradually disappears into the surrounding blue.
The painting reflects my recurring interest in the male body as a place where vulnerability, desire and emotional isolation meet. The figure is exposed, yet his gesture suggests a need to withdraw or protect himself.
The contrast between the warm tones… of the skin and the cold, muted background reinforces this sense of separation. Parts of the body are carefully defined, while others seem to fade away.
Drowned Light explores that fragile space between revealing ourselves and wanting to disappear, between the need to be seen and the fear of being exposed.

Credentials
- Works on commission
Rafa Latiegui, with extensive experience in video game art direction, develops a painting practice focused on the male body as a territory of desire, memory, and vulnerability. Using a style akin to figurative expressionism, he constructs his figures through planes, stains, and gestures that oscillate between presence and dissolution.
Her work is permeated by the experience of chronic pain and a queer perspective that understands the body as a site of resistance, intimacy, and conflict. Distance, the difficulty of contact, the unlived, and desire appear recurrently in scenes where physical proximity does not always imply connection.
Latiegui works from a place of searching and uncertainty, striving to make visible what often remains silent. In her paintings, fragility becomes a form of beauty and shared recognition.
