Eliel David Pérez Martínez recently completed his academic journey at the prestigious Venice Academy of Fine Arts, where he obtained his master's degree in 2023, following his bachelor's degree in 2021. His artistic practice focuses on the dynamic use of painting and textiles, incorporating both two-dimensional and sculptural forms. His vibrant works are distinguished by bold colors, fluid forms, and geometric patterns, blending painted canvases with fabric scraps to create unique textures and compositions. The juxtaposition of aniconic geometries and figurative elements results in a textured impasto that leaves many details to the viewer's imagination, offering a balance of abstraction and suggestion. Martínez’s liquid, non-descriptive figuration invites viewers to interpret and engage with the imagery on a personal level. His work draws from his own experiences, exploring themes related to his Mexican heritage, cultural identity, and social critique. His pieces reflect a deep analysis of cultural, anthropological, and economic issues, positioning them as both personal narratives and broader social commentaries.
