In Escarabajo de oro, Blas transforms the image of the scarab into a radiant and mystical presence. Painted with vibrant hues of green, pink, and gold, the insect emerges as a guardian figure, echoing both pre-Hispanic symbolism and universal myths of rebirth and transformation. The golden core suggests vitality and transcendence, while the electric background heightens its aura of energy and movement. This work reflects the artist’s ongoing dialogue between nature, spirituality, and contemporary visual codes, turning a simple creature into a powerful metaphor of resilience and continuity.
