Tentaciones is an abstract drypoint and aquatint by Christian Bozon, dominated by a dense, saturated red field that feels both visceral and restrained. Subtle fissures, abrasions, and darker tonal interruptions emerge within the surface, giving the work a sense of internal tension and emotional pressure.

The composition is minimal yet charged, relying on texture, color density, and edge erosion rather than overt imagery. Bozon’s mastery of intaglio techniques allows the red to function as both atmosphere and subject, evoking heat, desire, and restraint—qualities suggested by the title itself.
