Muchacho
This oil painting captures a young nude male seated on a padded stool, directly facing the viewer. His posture is relaxed yet expressive, both hands gripping the stool and his legs akimbo, suggesting both openness and subtle tension. His head is tilted and slightly bowed, eyes closed in deep contemplation. The composition uses strong contrast to draw the eye: one hand, cast in shadow, is painted a cool blue, while the other, illuminated, glows a warm red. This interplay of color and light evokes a sense of duality—perhaps reflecting inner conflict or balance. The subject appears lost in thought, possibly grappling with emotions or memories that occupy his mind beyond the frame, inviting viewers to ponder the complexity beneath his calm exterior.

"... la historia de un muchacho
que no encaja con la sociedad.
Anda por las calles de mi barrio
sin pensar qué opinan los demás."
(La Historia de un Muchacho, by Rata Blanca, from Rata Blanca VI)
