About the artwork

Far from the common perception of the aesthetic beauty that has always been depicted in Art through History, Cai Lei's subject matter is focusing on hyper realistically depicting the human body with all its flaws, being it aged, being it skin and bones or lifeless, honoring the life that has been passing through the body within all the weight that it brings in with experiences and all the weight that it takes away while passing it through to the next generation. A sacred fragile existence that with every breath of life have loved and loved.
