ORNAMENTED ✺ BARENESS
NYC Lens/Time-based Artist
Andrés E. Rangel (b. 1991)
Costa Rican Visual Artist based in New York, experienced in Editorial Photography, Art Direction, Visual Culture, Editing, and Photoshoot/Short Film Production. His concept explores the ornamentation, hyperbolization, and exaltation of politicized bodies, often bridging Fine Art, Fashion, Branding, Commerce, and Short-Form Content.
As a Figure Model, Andrés embodies a sculptural and expressive presence in Figurative Art sessions—versed in both dynamic, swift gestures and sustained, meditative poses.
Andrés is available in English y Español.

Andrés’ 2010s works unfold in a bold, vibrant palette with a Warholian–Almodóvarian flair, steeped in the playful excess of Latinx Kitsch and Camp.
Through ornamented portraits, experimental social nudes, and raw anti–selfies, he staged the body as both spectacle and testimony—affirming individuality, sexuality, and nudity as acts of celebration, resistance, and healing.
This formative and prolific era, marked by widespread publication, exhibition, and recognition, remains a cherished pre-depression chapter of artistic vitality—one Rangel now revisits as part of his in–progress renaissance.

Through swift, dynamic gestures or prolonged, meditative stillness, Andrés embodies forms that open space for the study of anatomy, emotion, and rhythm. His practice as a Visual Artist informs his modeling, shaping an intuitive awareness of light, perspective, and composition. In each session—whether private sittings, workshops, or academic studios—Andrés cultivates an atmosphere of collaboration, presence, and creative trust.
Hundreds of artworks have been created from his poses. As his portfolio grows, Andrés warmly invites artists who have drawn, painted, or photographed him to share their interpretations—contributing to a living archive of artistic exchange.
