Talk about the or bra by contemporary artist Xan Medina is to talk about visual crime, about the illumination of suffering , of the anguish that it reveals to us.

In addition, Xan Medina externalizes through his elegant brushwork and exquisite technique, a rich, strong and colorful inner world. His images compose a kind of personal diary where extremes coexist admirably: the good and the abject, the beautiful and the eschatological, the playful and the tragic, the childish and the terrifying.
Perhaps disturbing , yes, and sometimes distressing, like life itself. This is what Xan Medina’s work has that leaves no one indifferent.
