I saw this artist's work some time ago and was intrigued because of this particular piece.

| Humano, 1998 |
It reminded me of the headless guy I created in my collages, especially the one with snow and a blueish tone. I guess I'm not original after all. Still I look at this piece and feel like this artist and I might be addressing a similar human internal struggle. What I get from looking at more of his work is that he indeed likes to explore human experiences. His art depicts a very introspective reflection on personal yet universal suffering. It's rather painful to look at, actually, and even when a piece doesn't have recognizable body parts, they're still so, so human.

A lot of his artwork combines different forms of presentation. For this sculpture it can be viewed on its own, but apparently it can also be worn and performed in.

| El baile del infinito, 2003 |
His installations continue using different appeals to the senses. The one above incorporate motion; others contain motion, sound, and shadow play.
Here is a video.

| Corona, 2011 |
I noticed his more recent works have adopted some religious references.
Perez also did some drawings and photography, but his 3D work prevailed and impressed me the most. You can find more on his
website.
THIS IS SO COOL. I think what you said about the artist appealing to the different senses is very true. There's also something really mystic and dark about it that is simply intriguing.
