About the Item

The work "Desnudos" is an artist's proof (PA) print that explores the human figure in a symmetrical and repetitive composition. The piece depicts intertwined bodies that form geometric patterns, highlighting the artist's ability to combine the sensuality of nudes with an almost architectural approach. Guillermo Ceniceros is a Mexican painter and muralist, best known for his mural work in Mexico City, as well as his figurative easel work. He began his mural painting career as an assistant to mural painters such as Federico Cantú, Luis Covarrubias and then David Alfaro Siqueiros who was a mentor and a key influence. Guillermo Ceniceros is a celebrated Mexican artist known for his mastery of figurative drawing, his subtle yet powerful compositions, and his deep engagement with geometry, symmetry, and the human form. Born in Durango in 1939, Ceniceros was trained as a draftsman and muralist, and he worked as an assistant to the famed muralist David Alfaro Siqueiros. This early experience deeply shaped his artistic language, imbuing it with both monumental ambition and meticulous technical control. Unlike the overt political themes of the Mexican muralist movement, however, Ceniceros has largely pursued more introspective and poetic concerns, focusing on form, balance, and psychological presence in his paintings and prints. This print exemplifies Ceniceros’s refined aesthetic and cerebral approach to figuration. In this image, four intertwined nude figures radiate from the center of the composition, creating a visually hypnotic symmetry. Their bodies and gazes form a delicate, geometric mandala that blurs the lines between sensuality, introspection, and abstraction. Ceniceros often places the human form in carefully structured environments that emphasize proportion and continuity, and here the figures are both individual and collective—each self-contained yet part of a greater whole. The fine linework and sepia-toned palette further enhance the print’s classical, almost meditative atmosphere. As in much of his work, Ceniceros invites the viewer into a world of quiet psychological tension and formal elegance, where the body becomes a vehicle for deeper reflection on identity, connection, and timeless human experience.
