Sebastián Hidalgo
Born 1985 in Mexico
Lives and works in Cholula, Mexico
Born in Mexico in 1985, Sebastián Hidalgo earned his BFA from Unarte in 2010, and has since exhibited widely throughout Mexico and shown in New York, Los Angeles, and Santiago de Cuba. Hidalgo explores through different media and materials the relationship between the forces within us and the forces that surround us. His practice originates from painting and operates by clustering individual statements with specific interests, that combined, constitute multiple series of layered relationships. The universes found in each piece are made by the combination of scales and dimensions between representations, objects or concepts, and through the possibilities offered by the interaction of diverse iconographies. In this way, he manages to develop his own eclectic and mutable aesthetics.
