The universe of the Andalusian artist is certainly based on the reinterpretation of the human figure, particularly the human face. The face appears in many cases disfigured in its essence or ironically disturbed, whether it is a reinterpretation of famous masters of the past, or a face that is distorted by an expressionist grimace. In reality, Ydàñez's ability lies in showing a perfect appearance, which is however betrayed and denied by a liquid brushstroke, capable of dissolving the superficial features he is depicting. Thus, in this vast canvas, the almost desperate accent of the young man who shows himself, immobile and perplexed, is confirmed by the large, dark under-eye circles that become almost a mask, and by his lips soiled by a kind of gray lipstick.
