About the Item

Born in 1986 in Toluca, Mexico, he lives and works between Florence and Venice. He graduated at the painting course of the Fine Arts Academy of Venice, Italy and then he completed an M.A fine arts exchange in Middlesex University, London, UK. He was a finalist in the prestigious Premio Cairo 2019 - Milan and Premio Combat 2020. The work of Contreras is composed by artworks whose fulcrum is the theme of the landscape declined, however, in a dimension that ranges between reality, history, classicism, where color and the originality of the representation are the protagonists. In this case our mind is projected into an "other" dimension, both in the very small format paintings and in the great works that make us fluctuate between running horses and battles, between islands and sirens, between angels and temptations. The artist metabolizes the stimuli from ancient times to rework them in a tumultuous painting, on the ridge between figuration and abstraction. A vast imaginary emerges, from the dynamism of Tintoretto to the atmospheres of Turner (Cristiana Campanini).
