In this pictorial scene (El estudio y el Espejo), the gaze unfolds within a representational structure that problematises the act of seeing. The image within the image introduces a play of perspectives and overlapping narratives, suggesting a tension between the real and the illusory. This rhetorical play on representation questions the relationship between presence and absence.

In the painting La lucha, representation becomes a game of mirrors where the image multiplies and reshapes itself. The pictorial scenography, with its dramatic lighting and cool tones, creates an atmosphere of uncertainty, inviting viewers to question the status of the image and its role in constructing meaning.

In Take a Look, the rhetoric of the gaze becomes the central axis of the composition. A classical sculpture, a mirror, and a human figure in the background establish a series of visual games that allude to the relationship between what is seen and what is hidden, between representation and perception.

Marcos Barrientossoriano, born in 1996 in Málaga, spent his childhood in Don Benito, Badajoz. Later, he returned to Málaga to pursue his studies and begin his artistic career.

His work as an educator and artist complements each other, allowing him to explore new creative avenues in both fields continuously.

Na sliki Studio in ogledalo se pogled razvija znotraj reprezentacijske strukture, ki preizprašuje sam akt gledanja. Slika znotraj slike uvaja igro perspektiv in prekrivajočih se naracij ter nakazuje napetost med resničnim in iluzornim. Ta retorična igra reprezentacije preizprašuje odnos med prisotnostjo in odsotnostjo.

Na sliki Spopad postane reprezentacija igra ogledal, kjer se podoba množi in preoblikuje. Upodobitvena scenografija s svojo dramatično osvetlitvijo in hladnimi toni ustvarja atmosfero negotovosti, gledalstvo vabi k preizpraševanju statusa podobe in njene vloge pri konstruiranju pomena.

Na sliki Poglej postane retorika pogleda osrednja os kompozicije. Prisotnost klasične skulpture, ogledala in človeške figure v ozadju vzpostavlja vrsto vizualnih iger, ki namigujejo na odnos med videnim in skritim, reprezentacijo in percepcijo.
