ART AND EROTICISM
In Greek mythology, there are many versions that present Eros as a God. Was Eros a great god? According to Plato no. Eros is, however, sexual impulse. Eros is the attraction of the man towards the woman, of the woman towards the man, it is the attraction that generates life. For all its characteristics, many have been creators, poets, painters, etc. who have represented it in one way or another. Throughout my entire creative career, without being directly represented in one form or another, Eros, taking refuge in my sexual impulse, has allowed me to do a lot of work with purely erotic characteristics. In the same way that the erotic impulse appears asking for the sexual act, the creative need with erotic connotations has constantly appeared in my work. The images presented on this page may cause distress to irritable people who are highly sensitive to erotic forms. I have searched within my artistic creation those works that can have a clear exponent of eroticism. |

This is a work from the series "Autobiography in images" and like other works in this series it was never conceived in advance. There are different plastic elements here that make you think. The exposed crotch allows you to see a highly erotic part of the female figure. The covered head does not consider the face of the person and does not allow to identify her. There is also a group of hands with a spirit of desire. Due to the fact that it is a work of art, there are other formal and chromatic elements that combine with those described, which allows the viewer to reflect both from an erotic point of view and from a formal and plastic one. |
During the seventies and the eighties the subject in the Rodríguez Amat paintings was often restricted to the body of a woman, specially to the legs. The subject was a channel that allowed him to complete a series of works in which the artist could expound his ideas and principles about the artistic elements in painting, without any constraint with regard to the spectator. Eros is a concept that, in addition to connoting the sexual act, carries the meaning of life, because the sexual act determines life. Rodríguez-Amat combined the concept with creative action. Eroticism here has a sense of creativity. Some images can impress certain viewers and, obviously, the artist consciously combined the purely sexual sense with the artistic.. In some works, the concept of eroticism appears as the main theme with strong intentions, in others, the plastic process itself, being conscious of the artist, required him to move away from sexual connotations to be specific in the purely plastic domain. Never, however, Rodríguez-Amat fell involuntarily with the Freudian libido, on the contrary, his creative act was, at all times, wanted, desired and fully conscious. Like every form of art, destined to touch the door of the senses, it is born from an inner demand, from the desire to express a universe of passions and emotions. |

Sometimes the images appear with a certain erotic charge and, despite the fact that this was the criterion that the artist himself wanted to print on them, the plastic principles are above the erotic values. |

Many times the process and the plastic principles themselves have deliberately disregarded the erotic connotations that the images could carry and the work can appear free of any other context within an abstraction that makes the original image almost unintelligible. |
The human eye captures luminosity through the rods and chromaticity through the cones, all of which are found in our retina. The impressions received are transferred to the brain by means of the optic nerve, colors appear here. The retina is nothing more than the medium. There is a fact by which colors interact, that is, they look different depending on the colors next to them. This perception is called chromatic interaction. This painting, painted in 1979, measuring 190 cm x 170 cm, is subjected to a lot of chromatic interactions and the colors cannot be perceived in their identity. The artist has taken this visual fact into consideration to compose this work chromatically. With this text, it is not intended to make an exhaustive study of the interaction of colors, but to make it known that this is a chromatic phenomenon that exists. |

Screen printing (serigraphy) is an artistic stamping procedure. It is done through a porous fabric, through which the ink is passed with a scraper to print the image on the paper. I prepared a screen, based only on one line, which I used to make a small series of prints on which I later worked with watercolour, pencil or tempera paint. |

The "Woman-Bull Suite" is a journey through the reciprocal metamorphosis between the woman and the bull. It's a struggle. It is the expression of an impulsive, carnal and erotic desire, where voluptuousness is shown with all its sensual and lustful charge.

The ever-attentive gaze allows you to observe the surroundings. This sculpture has been made using a found object. It was necessary to know how to see the sculptural possibilities and reflect on the work to be done on it. The shape allowed the title of the sculpture: Woman.
