Pepe Hidalgo

Pepe Hidalgo’s style is figurative and abstract narrative. His figurative is
not related to realism, it is created from his imagination. Hidalgo’s paintings
achieve strength through the glazes or velatures he applies. He will apply
two or three to a painting, they help create a sense of space.
There is a distinct element present in his paintings, a string or cord that
acts as the umbilical cord that unites him to the universe, and allows him to
time travel back and forth as it supports his weight and pulls him back into
reality.
Hidalgo predominantly paints with acrylic and sketches. His artistic
process started as a child during frequent visits to the Museo del Prado in
Madrid. His work is influenced by Velazquez, Zurbaran, El Bosco, and the
Impressionists.
Art has allowed him to “free himself” and express himself without
prejudice, and to dare to do what he feels without expectations. Many
people ask him where he gets his ideas for his paintings. When you know
him you realize he mixes his knowledge of astrology, mythology, history,
life, and experiences. It is all manifested and expressed in his paintings.
