Let’s know something else about the
Peruvian plastic artist & painter who encourages us to undress for making art.
What about “the man’s naked body is beautiful” is not something new –we show it here among other stuff. But what about a Peruvian plastic artists has dared to print and show it in public – that’s called being gutsy, indeed.
We’re not talking about boys in nuts taken
out from his imagination. Miguel Rosas (Lima, Peru, January
19, 1992) draws and paints males who who get naked before him at his workshop,
so he goes printing them feature by feature, muscle by muscle, inch by inch,
even the penis or
the testicles.
Miguel Rosas Drew since a child but he had
to submit to the exigency for studying a career paying his bills. He chose
economy. But an accident that left him disabled to walk for some months focused
him on the drawing and painting – it helped him as a therapy.

The issue is Miguel drew what everybody
draws. You know, landscapes, traditions, stuff anyway. Then, he broke the frontier
once upon a day and traced naked boys. He didn’t only traced them – he made
they fully undress for making them immortal.
He didn’t make them to undress – he exposed them whoever wishing to see
them.
This Lima-native plastic artists &
painter granted us worthy minutes of his time for talking something else about
his art and what is inside the creative
process.
How
did you get to hold strong on your decision to draw and paint male bodies?
It
was something I wanted to experience of art in the beginning. I already had
made other topics in painting but I wanted to paint male nude, then I continued
because of the fascination I have when I make my works. It’s a experience I enjoy by drawing the
lines, adding the color, getting to print the male beauty.
Were
you afraid of it, anytime?
Yes,
I was. In the beginning, I thought if I painted male bodies, and nudes overall,
I couldn’t post due I could break out reactions against because it’s most
common in art to see the female nude. But I was overcoming these fears.
How
did you overcome them?
In
the process to make the paintings and meeting the models who performed, I was
realizing what I made was such as wonderful or more, like the rest of the art –
I should continue to make it.

How
would you rate that first session with your first model posing nude?
It
was good. It was a friend of mine who posed for that occasion – I felt very
comfortable. I liked much the result too, I could learn much from that first
experience.
Was
it easy to propose the nude to your friend?
It
wasn’t much. He already had posed for me but dressed. I had to convince him to
pose nude for making some drawings and a painting. The trust he had to me was
what he motivated in the end.

In
your experience, does the Peruvian male get nude easily for being printed in a
drawing or a painting?
No,
he doesn’t. Many prefer to pose with some clothes fearing to show their bulge
to other folk. Also, there’s still a belief the male nude is obscene as to be
represented in art.
Why
isn’t obscene to print a male nude?
Because
the art is free and the male nude is part of Nature. The idea it’s obscene, or not,
depends more on the culture of the people in a determined part of the world.
But
it persists the fear to show without clothes, especially the penis, the
testicles, or the buttocks, doesn’t it?
Yes,
it does. There’s a conservative culture of modesty to show the bulge.
Peruvian
Pre-Hispanic cultures represented hard penis. Even, there’s an actual
controversy about pottery seeming a hard penis. In your judge, is art to show a
hard-on?
Sure.
The art shows every stage of people’s life. If it’s possible to represent an
action like the work, eating, sleeping, why not the sex or a hard-on too?
So,
why so much scandal when a boy decides to pose showing his hard penis, or
ejaculating inclusive?
Because
aside the artists, the rest of people don’t have that artistic background because they don’t have much contact to the
art. Other reason is because this kind of art is not usual, this is just
exposing to the public.
And
we, the men, art pieces by definition, aren’t we?
Of
course. We are an art piece of the Creation.
Miguel Rosas gave us some of his pieces those the social media have banned, what you can see them all here without fear we disappear from the cyberspace.
