Tripophobia (2023) is a mixed media on wood piece by Pepe Puntas, a painter from Córdoba with a solid academic background. The work, measuring 122 x 87 cm, invites reflection on human perception of patterns and forms. The use of vibrant colors and the variety of forms evoke a sense of movement and transformation, suggesting the complexity of human emotions and experiences. The abstract elements could be interpreted as representations of the ever-changing mind, where tripophobia —the fear of repetitive patterns— becomes a starting point to explore the duality between attraction and repulsion.

The mixed media on wood technique provides a unique texture that complements the chromatic palette, adding depth to the piece. The combination of visual elements and the interaction of vibrant colors create a visual dialogue that challenges the viewer to confront their own fears and perceptions, turning the experience of observing the artwork into an introspective journey.
