These works, inspired by x-rays, are part of a figurative movement that attempts to unveil a hidden reality while provoking an emotional reaction with the viewer. The use of modern x-ray imagery creates a link with the tradition of the representation of pain. Throughout the centuries and various art movements, this tradition has been inspired by religious passion, as in the images of martyrs.
