Far from mere representation, these works function as visual philosophical treatises. Salvador Dalí's influence is palpable in the surgical precision of the drawing and the concept of \"paranoiac-critical\": the double image and the transformation of flesh into geometry and mineral.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eThe analysis of the works reveals a dual narrative of evolution:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"Akhnaton mon maitre\" (Left\/Right depending on mounting):\u003c\/b\u003e The male figure represents the heretic pharaoh Akhenaten. Moreno breaks the symmetry of the face to show an internal structure that is half human, half architectural-organic. It is the break with tradition, the search for light (the solar disk), and the connection with the divine through an anatomy that expands upwards, crowned by bulbous forms reminiscent of visionary architecture. The chest fractured into geometric patterns suggests a crystal heart, an internal structure that is revealed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"La Métamorphose Artificielle\" (The Woman):\u003c\/b\u003e Here we witness the \"process of personal integration of global evolution.\" As the artist himself describes, the image is not static; it expands. There is an imaginary transfer that connects the depth of the female gaze with the crystal fragments that surround her. It is not an adornment; it is a symbiosis. The crystal acts here as a prism of \"Truth,\" reflecting a different reality depending on the facet that receives the light. It is the aura of the character, a harmonious design that invites meditation on our own transformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy is this piece an opportunity for your collection?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePhilosophical Depth:\u003c\/b\u003e This is not simple decorative art; it is conceptual art.
