‘Duende is a term used to describe artistry empowered by the awareness of death. It has similarities to the idea of “soul,” in art and life, but although both share the sense of tragedy or pain moving the creative energiesduende is libidinally charged, having more fire and drama in it.

El duende has been defined as the spirit of evocation, “a state of tragedy-inspired ecstasy,”
