Queer Los Angeles-based artist blurring the lines between reality and imagination. Inspired by Surrealism and the rich canon of queer art, they explore the profound connection between their subconscious and the creative potential of AI.
Who gets to be seen?
Who gets to be desired?
Who is granted space in the frame, and who is left watching from the outside?
ONANIST_01 forces us to confront the systems we exist within
Are we inside the loop, or are we trapped outside it?

As a queer artist, and gay male of Mexican descent, I’ve always been aware of the spaces I do and don’t belong in

ONANIST_01 isn’t just a critique—it’s personal. I’ve seen how certain bodies and colors of skin are celebrated while others are erased. This piece is about that erasure.

Gay beauty standards operate like an art gallery: the body is curated, perfected, fetishized, sold

If you don’t fit the aesthetic, you don’t exist. ONANIST_01 mirrors that reality—these bodies exist only for each other, rejecting all that is ‘other.’

ONANIST_01 depicts an endless loop of idealized male bodies—glistening, intertwined, consuming and reflecting only themselves

Below them, miniature figures watch from a distance, unable to enter the frame. It’s about power. It’s about exclusion.

In LGBTQ subcultures and the art world, desirability is a closed system
The fit and “hot”, cis white gay male is the standard—polished, sculpted, self-contained
The gallery is the same: an exclusive space where ‘value’ is dictated by whiteness and status
