One of the most interesting qualities of the Colombian artist Alfonso Espriella It's a risky decision on his part to present his work. He, as a cautious mother might say, has his odd moments., His moments that break with the proper comfort. But Siddhartha, his latest video takes things a step further.

In the clip we see Espriella simulating a blank canvas ready to be painted, Making various gestures of madness, uncertainty, despair, and at times a certain lucidity, which, in such a context, is hardly believable. The song progresses amidst the oil paintings and the camera work and editing that understand the intensity of the audio, and with a striking element: The participation of the visual artist Santiago Castaño, who builds the stage throughout the video, always in black tones and with somewhat catastrophic images behind the musician. 

Yes, this is Alfonso Espriella in his most experimental phase., ready to shock and unsettle more than one viewer, And surely pleasing those who expected a bit more of the bizarre in some of his graphic work. This experimentation is welcome.
