The Ghosts of My Subconscious Desire: A Pictorial Dissection.

Luis Moscoso translates a spectral scene where subconscious desire manifests itself in a vortex of unconnected forms - his own mythology of horses, tongues, thighs, claws, fish and fragmented limbs - that dissolve in the abyss of repression. In this ghostly tableau, eros and anguish merge, revealing not the purity of love, but the raw, unfiltered confrontation of the carnal impulse. The composition is imbued with a dreamlike tension, reminiscent of Picasso’s Guernica, not in its depiction of war, but in its portrayal of an inner battlefield, a war of instincts against inhibitions.

Here, desire does not solidify but liquefies, dissolving into the murky swamp of the subconscious, an ephemeral exile where unspoken urges are both summoned and dissipated. Moscoso’s spectral figures do not seek permanence; they hover at the precipice of oblivion, whispering a silent question—do repressed desires truly vanish, or do they haunt us forever, lingering in the mist of forgotten dreams?
