El erotismo como motor de creación artística: diálogos entre referentes de la historia del arte, como ventana a universos imaginarios para la creación de una mitología erótica personal

Abstract

Explores how desire and erotic fantasy serve as driving forces in artistic production. The author constructs a personal erotic mythology—referred to as "mitomía"—through drawing, painting, and installation, aiming to express his inner world. By referencing historical artists such as Egon Schiele and Hieronymus Bosch, Rodríguez creates a dialogue between his own work and the representation of eroticism throughout art history. His creative process is deeply subjective and autobiographical, combining poetic narrative with visual exploration to connect sexual desire with the fantastic, the monstrous, and the sacred. The text also delves into eroticism from philosophical and psychoanalytic perspectives, incorporating ideas from thinkers like Georges Bataille, Slavoj Žižek, and Freud. Rodríguez links desire to fantasy and the imaginary, arguing that eroticism transcends physical sexuality by activating the inner life and distorting reality. His artistic practice challenges inherited religious and moral norms, turning art into a ritual of spiritual liberation and redefinition of the sacred. In this way, eroticism in his work becomes an aesthetic and spiritual act, where pleasure, pain, imagination, and transgression converge.
