In Cosmic Man (Hombre cósmico), Cordelia Urueta explores themes of transcendence and human connection to the universe. The figure, depicted in vibrant hues of red, blue, and earthy tones, appears to be in a state of rapture or deep meditation. The man’s face is tilted upwards, eyes closed, as if reaching toward a higher spiritual plane or communing with cosmic forces. The dynamic mix of warm and cool colors on his skin suggests an inner world as vast as the outer one, a duality of earthly grounding and cosmic energy.

In the background, the swirling blue and red tones mirror the figure’s own coloration, visually linking him to the universe around him. A distant celestial body, possibly a planet or a star, reinforces this cosmic connection. This work reflects Urueta's Theosophical influences, where the human figure becomes a symbol of the soul’s journey and its interconnectedness with the universe. Cosmic Man serves as a visual meditation on humanity’s place within the cosmos, evoking a sense of both vulnerability and power in the face of the infinite.
