The document discusses a series of 10 artworks by Luis Formaino titled "The Vicissitudes of Man". Each painting explores a different aspect of the human experience including: the relationship between the body and spirit, confronting mortality and death, facing inner shadows and mysteries, sexuality, and viewing each day as a full life. The artworks use symbolic imagery and Jungian psychology to represent fundamental human truths about life, death, and the duality of human nature.
