✺ BODY & ARTS
Visual Artist | New York
Andrés E. Rangel (b. 1991)
Costa Rican Visual Artist based in New York, experienced in Editorial Photography, Photo Art Direction, Creative Operations, and Visual Culture. His concept explores the ornamentation, hyperbolization, and exaltation of politicized bodies, often bridging Fine Art, Fashion, Queer Theory, and Curatorship.
As a Figure Model, Andrés embodies a sculptural and expressive presence in Life 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 invite the study of anatomy, emotion, and rhythm. His background in dance and practice as a visual artist inform his modeling, shaping an intuitive awareness of light, composition, and perspective.
Andrés has posed for painting, drawing, and sculpture in both in-studio and online sessions, ateliers, social events, and academic settings. This breadth of experience gives him a nuanced understanding of each practice and environment, cultivating an atmosphere of collaboration, presence, and creative trust.
Andrés is available for in-person (NYC) and online sessions, in both 1-on-1 and group formats. All online sessions are streamed in professional HD quality.
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.
