Art
Beyond his work in photography and drawing, Laínez has primarily focused on creating rituals, performances, and short films. His art, which began with ink drawings in 1994, delves into dark identitarian neopaganism. His most notable works include his sacred actions from 2001 to 2009, the outputs from the Circle of Ur rituals like the comic script Offertorium (2021), and films such as Círculo de Ur (2017), Hoc est corpus meum (2019), and Ut nox lux (2021). These pieces best encapsulate his artistic endeavors.
