PASSEPARTOUT

Artist: Carlos Cordero-Rosales @kurler

Muse: Nausicaa Yami @nausicaa_yami

“For the past two years, I’ve been exploring the fusion of photography and mixed media to create singular nude art pieces. Driven by a desire to move beyond commercial photography, I now embrace creative freedom—transforming the human body into a dynamic canvas.

Each work in this series is a one-of-a-kind exploration. By layering diverse materials and techniques, I reshape and obscure the body’s natural form. Experimental methods, such as positioning thick, curved glass in front of the lens, allow me to distort images and reveal new perspectives. I then convert the photographs to black-and-white before applying custom color palettes, resulting in vibrant, dynamic images that defy replication.

This journey has been deeply rewarding. Collaborating with exceptionally talented models like @nausicaa_yami, I have ventured into varied settings—from hand-painted backdrops and live projections to minimalist environments. On October 24th, I showcased this evolving narrative at my debut exhibition in Zurich, titled PASSEPARTOUT, where over 30 unique oval passepartouts framed each nude photograph. These pieces invite viewers to interact with the art, igniting curiosity and encouraging a deeper exploration of the human form”
