ANDRÉS PALOMAR
ABOUT ANDRÉS
Andres Palomar, a Mexican-American artist and architect. His work is grounded in the principles of contrast, movement, and visual storytelling, using dynamic compositions to guide the viewer's gaze across shifting dimensions and perspectives. Through this approach, he aims to evoke a sense of catharsis. Palomar’s seeks to foster a timeless dialogue, encouraging active engagement from observers, making their participation an integral part of the artwork’s evolving essence.
For Palomar, art is the union of message and physical form, a record of personal experiences that balances the intimate and the universal. He views artistic expression as a continuously evolving pursuit, rooted in the search for self-awareness, the human spirit, and deeper connections with others and the world around us.
His work investigates the interplay between humanity and the spaces we inhabit, probing existential questions about being and our bond with the natural world. He seeks to highlight our shared fragility and resilience, shedding light on the often unseen but pervasive forces that shape our existence.
In his recent work, he incorporates materials like soil, charcoal, ash, and lime to explore the connection between humanity and the environment. These natural elements evoke the physical landscape and symbolize cycles of destruction, renewal, and the unseen energies that influence our lives. By capturing their raw energy and materiality, Palomar reflects on the reciprocal relationship between humans and their surroundings—a constant, evolving exchange.
