SIXE PAREDES
SPAIN
BIOGRAPHY
Sergio Hidalgo Paredes, also known as Sixe Paredes, is the master of his own plastic universe, nourished by several disciplines. The spanish artist entered the art world by graffiti writing that he began in the late 80s. In the mid-90s, he experimented painting on canvas and sculpture up until 1998, when he felt the need to have his own workshop. Therefore since, he now considers himself as a fine artist.
Over the years, the art of Sixe Paredes evolved to become what it is today : a colourful abstraction which at first may seem a little simple, but which is in reality very complex, often consisting of symbolic geometric shapes. The figurative elements also have their own place in this pictorial world, by being finely hidden to create a whole. Sixe Paredes’ main sources of inspirations come from his experiences in the urban landscape, melancholy feelings in cities, his concerns about problems arising from the evolution of our societies and our consciences. In the last few years, it is particularly the Andean and Mesoamerican cultures that intrigued him with their colours flowing, their wisdom and mysticism. Its is fair to say that a new plastic world is born in Sixe’s studio from this transoceanic interconnection: a multicoloured and psychedelic abstraction. This is the pictorial language of Sixe Paredes, playing with shapes and symbolic elements, in order to invent a creative way to communicate with our ancestors.
