Selected Exhibitions of a Contemporary Fine Artist exploring the transmutative effect of elements, their integration into our culture, and their spiritual significance.

Drawing from his own enlightening experiences, he views art as a system that reciprocates value into his own perspective towards evolution. In his work, Fidel demonstrates an instinctive understanding of everyday elements and their impact on our psyche’s behavior. He employs alpha-numeric characters to evoke the empirical aspect of the spiritual realm, almost like a testimonial of universal patterns. This transformation is something he has experienced since childhood.

Through his perfectly calculated misfit of elements on the canvas, Fidel creates an emotional storytelling billboard compelling and attaching his audience to a rare perspective where the unseen can be practically unveiled. Fidel’s early steps were inspired by “Tauromaquia,” which he explored on his bedroom walls alongside his bullfighting grandfather. Since then, he has excelled in arts education programs.

Today, Fidel is striving to morph his current dimension through his process, bonding energies, and bringing them into harmony and balance on his work. Fidel’s ultimate goal is to witness the evolution of art approaches within an evolved society without sacrificing excellence. As he explores the transmutative effect of elements and their integration into our culture. Today, Fidel remains committed to pushing the boundaries through his methods. He believes that his art should chronologically reflect his own growth and the evolution of society, while maintaining the highest standards of artistic excellence.
