Guitar Player

A surreal ballad in ink and color, Guitar Player by Gilberto Delgado (Kupyum) transforms a simple musician into a mythic figure under moonlight. The skeletal guitarist, seated in a wild landscape of agave and winding roots, plays beneath a star-filled sky. Beams of light cut diagonally across the frame, spotlighting both the music and the magic it conjures. A subtle tension between life and death, rhythm and silence, runs throughout the composition.
Rendered in rich shades of ochre, black, teal, and bone, the scene brims with detail—from insects crawling at the base to birds perched among abstract flora. Delgado’s use of serigraphy gives the print texture and visual punch, while his signature style blurs the line between dream and folklore.
