“Bicho con Antenas” is a slender, vertical pastel drawing that depicts a stylized anthropomorphic creature with elongated antennae and a highly simplified, almost totemic figure. The artwork combines soft pinks, blacks, and neutral tones, applied with loose yet intentional lines that emphasize the figure’s elongated proportions and surreal presence.

The character’s mask-like face, exaggerated limbs, and minimalist body shapes reflect Costus’ affinity for playful distortion and pop-surrealist sensibilities. Despite its small scale, the work exudes a strong graphic identity, enhanced by the narrow format of the paper, which intensifies the verticality of the figure.

Drawn on both sides of the sheet, this piece highlights the duo’s spontaneous and experimental approach to drawing, where imagination and irreverence merge seamlessly into iconic forms.
