Image of great affirmative power, where the body becomes a territory of identity, freedom and desire. The figure, captured in a direct and defiant posture, occupies the center of the composition with a strong presence, articulated through fragmented planes, tense lines and an intense chromatic energy.

The yellow background, luminous and expansive, reinforces the vital character of the work, while the reds, violets, blues and blacks intensify the expressiveness of the body and face. Machí approaches queer identity here not from a literal illustration, but from a painting charged with gesture, sensuality and resistance, where visual fragmentation becomes a language of affirmation and freedom.

Jordi Machí is a Spanish visual artist with a degree in Fine Arts from the Universitat Politècnica de València, with training also at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia and the Universidade de São Paulo. His language explores the intersection between imagination, emotional memory and popular culture, giving rise to compositions with a strong narrative and symbolic charge. After initiating an international projection from his exhibitions in Lebanon, his work has been presented in Europe, Brazil, United States, Mexico and Asia.

His recent solo exhibitions include Jordi Machí at Casa de Vacas, Parque del Retiro, Madrid (2020), Amor Líquido at Fundación Ibero-América with MADO, Madrid (2022), The Fing Tomorrow** at Galería Cuatro, Valencia (2023), Geometría del Alma at Galería Cuatro, Valencia (2025), and Villa Esperanza at ACE Hotel Swimming Club, Athens (2026). He has also participated in fairs and group exhibitions such as ARTMADRID and Estampa in Madrid, One Art Fair in Taipei, AART FAIR in Shenzhen and RARO with Lucie Chang Fine Arts in Hong Kong.
