Abstrismo: Where the Real Becomes Unseen
Definition of Abstrismo
Abstrismo is a contemporary artistic movement that fuses the freedom of abstract art with the symbolic essence of the real. Its purpose is not merely to capture form or appearance, but to reveal the invisible soul—the vibration that lies behind the tangible.
Core Principles
- Fusion of opposites → Abstrism breaks the boundary between the figurative and the abstract. Each work exists in the in-between space where the concrete transforms into emotion.
- Creative richness → Every piece is a crossroads of techniques: oil, acrylic, mineral pigments, textures, and unconventional materials. Multiplicity of languages is its essence.
- Color as vital energy → The palette is not decorative; colors become emotional pulses that transmit inner states.
- Mexican symbolism → Abstrism honors Mexican roots by integrating ancestral symbols (sun, moon, jade, flower, heart) into an abstract language that transcends borders.
- Expression of the universal self → Rather than representing an object, Abstrism unveils a shared inner truth between artist and viewer.

Visual Aesthetics
- Contrast between geometric strokes and organic forms.
- Use of mixed media: metallic pigments, sands, resins, asphaltic paint.
- Deep colors (cobalt, gold, intense black) layered with transparencies and glazes.
- Superimposed layers evoking the complexity of the human being.
Manifesto of Abstrismo
“Art neither imitates nor escapes reality. Abstrism decomposes it, transforms it, and reveals it in multiple dimensions. Between the real and the abstract lies a fertile territory where the human becomes universal. That space is Abstrism.”
