In this work the author uses an abstract language, based on irregular geometry, organic in both its layout and colors. It is an open style, whose basic characteristic is the conception of the pictorial surface as a whole, as an open field, without limits and without hierarchy. Thus, as we see here, the pictorial forms are the result of a thoughtful composition and experimentation, with an image of gestural character, not limited to an abstract composition, but go beyond, indicating to the viewer that it is about forms, ideas or suggestions that cross the boundaries of the purely pictorial and tell us about the painter's own craft.
Matias Sanchez was born in Germany in 1972 and was self-taught. He has always felt an impulse for art that led him to develop an artistic career. Matias Sanchez made his first exhibition in Cavecanem in 2001 and a year later his work was exhibited at Arco where he received a warm welcome from critics. In 2003 he repeated his experience at the Contemporary Art Fair held in Madrid, being his work collected and disseminated in the newspaper El País. This was a turning point in his career, which led to numerous solo and group exhibitions, both nationally and internationally. Among which include the exhibition at the gallery Begoña Mallone (Madrid), Javier Marín (Málaga), Valle Ortí (Valencia), Espacio Liquido (Gijón), "Christopher Cutts Gallery" (Toronto - Canada) and Costantini Art Gallery (Milan - Italy). His work has been exhibited in various contemporary art reference spaces such as the CAAM - Centro Atlántico de Arte Moderno (Las Palmas de Gran Canaria) or the CAC Malaga. In addition to ARCO, MACO 2013 - Mexico Arte Contemporáneo, Art Stage Singapore 2013, Art Monaco 2013, India Art Fair 2013, Contemporary Istanbul 2012, Art Toronto 2012, Art Moscovo 2012 and Beirut Art Fair 2012.
