Subtitle: A glimpse into the Soul
Blurb/Shorttext:
In his "Obscura Series," Mederos presents a unique blend of photorealistic abstraction. Employing bubble wrap to both reflect light and distort the image beneath, his creations require distance to be fully appreciated, dissolving into bold strokes and nuanced shades when viewed up close. This series invites viewers to engage with the deeper aspects of human identity.
