“Hombre desnudo” is a slender, vertical pastel drawing portraying a standing male figure rendered in striking blue tones. The elongated format emphasizes the stylized anatomy and upright pose, with the figure’s arms raised in a gesture that suggests movement, tension, or invocation.
The artist uses layered pastels to create dynamic shifts of color across the body, blending turquoise, indigo, and violet hues that enhance the sense of volume and emotional intensity. Subtle background washes further accentuate the figure’s silhouette, while the bold facial features—sharp eyes, defined jawline—reflect the aesthetic language characteristic of Costus’ expressive and theatrical approach to the human form.
This work captures the duo’s fascination with stylization, color contrasts, and the dramatic interplay between gesture and presence.
