Work / territories
The image does not end at its edge.
This room brings together painting, drawing, digital creation and generative systems. Each body of work unfolds as an independent series through image, process and material.

ENALC · ARTWORK ARCHIVE
Urban Décollage Series
The work emerges from fragments of advertisements stripped from city walls. Enrique Alcides retrieves these superimposed layers, brings them into the studio, intervenes in the material through painting and reworks the result digitally. The wall functions simultaneously as archive, support and collective memory.
- Origin
- Layers of recovered urban advertisements
- Process
- Décollage, painterly intervention and digital processing

Suspicious Mind
A watercolour inspired by a memory of Paloma Picasso in a 1980s perfume advertisement. The piece appeared in one of the artist’s group exhibitions.

Repetition · difference · visual populations
One image becomes many.
These series examine how an image can remain recognisable while colour, rhythm and internal structure keep changing.
My Favorite Baby Mozta
The project begins with a little monster Enrique Alcides drew as a child while living in Western Sahara. Rediscovered and re-signified in adulthood, it was digitised, and the first recovered originals were coloured by hand. A generative system then extended the same figure into a population of variations, exploring how repetition can preserve an identity while difference continually unsettles it. Initially conceived as a possible NFT series, the project may later give movement to the little monsters through animation.
Thirty variations explore a six-zone colour system. Background, long hair, long tie, body fur, belly and eyes/iris change independently, allowing the same figure to hold multiple chromatic identities.
- Structure
- Six independently variable colour zones
- Zones
- Background · long hair · long tie · body fur · belly · eyes / iris
- Selection
- 30 variations
Algorithmic variations from an original drawing.
A deterministic system independently recombines the colours of the background, balloon, string, hair, tie/collar and body, while preserving the original figure.
Cell Drops
A cellular field repeats without becoming identical. Colour and density move across the same organic structure, turning a shared image into distinct states.

Digital image · ongoing research
Digital image territories.
A growing constellation of altered images, fractured portraits, colour fields and working records, organised here by visual affinity.
01
Fevered Landscapes
Chromatic architectures shift between landscape, signal and abstraction.
WORK IN PROGRESS
02
Fragmented Portraits
The self-portrait becomes panel, echo and multiplied presence.
WORK IN PROGRESS
03
Digital Compositions
Colour, distortion and cultural memory meet in independent image studies.
WORK IN PROGRESS
04
Figurative Images
Figuration is tested through line, colour and constructed surroundings.
WORK IN PROGRESS
05
Collage / Drawing
Four ongoing studies in collage and drawing.
WORK IN PROGRESS
06
Process Documents
Working interfaces, mirrored states and physical presentations retain the passage from image to object.
Moving image · generative digital creation
Cosmic Face
Two generative variations construct the face as a territory of light, impulse and drift. The pieces stem from a single source image and explore different behaviours through code.
Inner Constellation
The face ceases to be a portrait and becomes a nervous cartography. Particles travel along its lines like impulses; eyes, cheeks and lips pulse as an almost imperceptible breath keeps the image alive.

Magnetic Face
Identity appears as a gravitational field. Planes of depth, liquid neon and drifting nebulae position the eyes and mouth as centres of attraction within a presence that never fully settles.

Painterly Matter
A growing survey of canvases, works on paper and mixed media, organised as material constellations rather than a single chronology.

D/02
Inner Constellation
Faces, pulses of light, stars and breath: an image that never fully stabilises.

Water of Memory
Liquid surfaces and celestial meshes translate memory into a variable system.
