ART – NATURALEZA VIVA

Career

Sixe Paredes, born in Barcelona in 1975, began his artistic journey in the world of graffiti in the late 1980s. With constant evolution, during the 1990s he expanded his creative language by exploring disciplines such as painting, sculpture and installation. This exploration led him to establish his own studio, where he developed an unmistakable abstract style characterised by a vibrant use of colour, complex geometric forms and a personal symbolism that connects the viewer with deeper dimensions.

Throughout his career, Sixe has combined urban interventions and studio production, consolidating a body of work that draws on both the Catalan tradition — with clear references to Antoni Tàpies and Joan Miró — and the ancestral Andean cultures. Since his travels to Peru in 2009, his work has integrated millennia-old knowledge in ceramics and textiles, giving rise to what he calls ‘Ancestral Futurism’: a fusion of past and present that redefines his artistic proposition towards a deeply mystical and unique aesthetic.
