This exhibition explores the theme of identity and mortality through an interpretation of Picasso's final self-portraits. Artist Bernardi Roig utilizes a diverse range of media, including drawings, sculptures, and light installations, to investigate the metamorphosis and eventual disappearance of the human face.
Bernardi Roig: The Last Face and the Aphonia of the Minotaur is a multi-venue project that interrogates the concept of the final image and the human identity. At the Museo Casa Natal Picasso, the exhibition focuses on a series of works inspired by Picasso’s late self-portraits from 1972, which depict a figure stripped of its identity, evoking a sense of finality and the stillness of a vanitas. Roig utilizes a variety of artistic formats—such as drawings, light-based sculptures, and installations—to represent the struggle of the individual face against the masking of identity. The project is deeply connected to the 50th anniversary of Pablo Picasso's death and examines the artist's complex relationship with his own iconography, particularly the figure of the Minotaur. By exploring the tension between the frontality of the human face and the anonymity of the mask, the exhibition challenges the visitor to contemplate themes of violence, time, and inevitable decay. This work at the museum serves as one part of a larger, simultaneous presentation that extends to the Centre Pompidou Málaga and the Collection of the Russian Museum, creating a dialogue between historical memory and contemporary artistic reflection.
