Oil on canvas | 150×96cm | 2024
Original oil painting by Santi Pina
Originis portrays two intertwined human bodies (one male, one female) depicted without faces, stripped of identity, time, and context. Their interaction evokes both tenderness and elemental force. The male body, muscular and grounded, references The Forge of Vulcan by Velázquez, with a deliberate nod to myth, labor, and divine creation. The female form, curved and receptive, balances the composition, not as passive, but as origin: source, muse, mirror.
The lack of facial features removes individual narrative, allowing the figures to exist as archetypes: creator and creation, energy and matter, motion and stillness. Originis becomes a meditation on the act of becoming: the raw, sacred space where bodies shape one another and something entirely new emerges.
This is not a romantic painting. It is not erotic in the conventional sense. It is an ode to the power of presence, of physicality, of the body as both vessel and force.
