Hector Acevedo

In the composition of my work, the spaces appear fragmented and reach their fruitful moment in the geometric direction of the light. I propose a narrative tour of the work by directing the viewer's gaze, the light becomes the path that then frames synthetically represented houses and human figures with suppressed mouths and gazes that face, in a seductive way, head-on and sideways, above endless feminine necks modeled by lines that form curves.

Work experience from 1989 to the present (35 years)

I was born in Lima in 1963.
In 1986, I was admitted to Peru’s Advanced Autonomous School of Fine Arts (Escuela Nacional Superior Autónoma de Bellas Artes del Peru - ENSABAP) to study drawing and painting, while continuing studies in civil engineering at the National University of Engineering (Universidad Nacional de Ingeniería - UNI).
Both majors involved a very specific set of aptitudes, and helped shape different life perspectives for me as a future artist. Between the demands of my engineering studies and my vital commitment to art, in the midst of a complex decision I ended up choosing to work in the field of plastic arts, where I found my true vocation and personal satisfaction.

I currently live in Spain.
