Selected Works

Pedro Paricio The Swimmer II (The Castaway)

Contemporary Spanish artist Pedro Paricio sets out to solve conceptual problems, and to incorporate street culture with fine art, in his practice. Paricio pays homage to great artistic figures of the past, such as Picasso and Magritte, and examines and questions the role of the artist in his bright and dynamic canvases.

Pedro Paricio’s unique visual language blurs the boundaries between the figurative and the abstract. His vibrant designs are a signature motif, filling familiar silhouettes with prismatic colours and geometric patterns. His subjects range from contemporary science to Hispanic folklore and from music to philosophy.

‘I think of myself as an intuitive painter ... I work in dialogue with the piece ... in some ways it could be understood as a reflection of the two most important ways of painting: abstract and figurative ... my paint is a question and not an answer.’

‘In his work, there is a constant return to the reconsideration of and tribute to the history of painting itself, from which he takes nourishment and finds his expressive space and constructs his autobiography, in the same way that a writer takes on the task of writing a diary, sketching his thoughts on paper and giving light and colour to his emotions.’

Isidro Hernandez Gutierrez, Curator of Tenerife Espacio de las Artes (TEA)
