In thoughtful, organic and imaginative compositions, artist Ignacio Hábrika pierces the very essence of what it means to feel and be alive in the contemporary world. Through richly toned paintings, oscillating between abstract and tangible, purely figurative and metaphoric, Hábrika intones a brave cadence of personal yet universal experience. Light permeates these paintings, with strongly enunciated line and precisely articulated form guiding us inward through the artist’s unique vision. Beautiful, character-filled texture evokes a sense of progression, evolution and transcendence. In this way, Hábrika’s paintings approach and confront the issue of adversity through expressive form and brushwork. “The subject matter is humanistic, universal and it proposes the desire of the improvement of individuals, the struggle against adversity,” the artist explains. “Plastically, it has a very unique style; I believe that those are the things in which I am looking to climb up the steps of my own staircase.”
Born in Mexicali, Mexico, Ignacio Hábrika’s works have been exhibited worldwide.
