Cabeza Flotante

In this captivating collagraph print titled "Cabeza Flotante" (Floating Head), CHOCO creates a striking composition that juxtaposes two distinct yet harmonious elements. On the left, a silhouetted profile of a head contains a golden leaf-shaped form traversed by intricate, meandering lines that suggest both veins of a leaf and neural pathways. The delicate white triangular form positioned where an eye would be creates a focal point against the warm golden background. This profile, set against a deep black field, seems to float within the composition's broader framework.

To the right, a circular form rendered in warm orange and amber tones sits against a rich teal background. This circle is overlaid with a complex network of swirling, intersecting lines that create a web-like pattern, echoing the linear elements in the leaf motif. The entire composition is framed by earthy red-brown borders that unify the elements. The collagraph technique brings exceptional textural quality to both forms, with the raised lines creating a tactile dimension that captures light in varying ways across the surface. This work exemplifies CHOCO's ability to merge organic and geometric forms while exploring themes of consciousness and nature through his distinctive printmaking approach.
