About the Artwork
Carrera de obstáculos stages three male figures inside tin cans, facing a giant can opener that transforms into both threat and obstacle. With irony and visual play, Vizcaíno turns ordinary objects into allegories of struggle, resilience, and the absurd trials imposed by modern life. The painting oscillates between humor and critique, emphasizing the vulnerability of the human body within constructed systems.
