Moisés Cervantes
Painting

Moisés Cervantes is an eclectic artist who makes of his works a tribute to the history of painting, to continuous discovery, to technical innovation, and to the ancestral practice of communicating through form and color. He brings together the principles of painting to develop a unique body of work — a visual language of his own through which he immortalizes on canvas his deepest longings and most intimate thoughts.
In his work, colors merge to shape unstable forms that reveal movement; accidents become means of creating surrealist scenarios. Letters and geometric drawings emerge from the background as fragments of future plans and projects — evidence of a rising iconography.
A graduate of the Centro de Educación Artística (CEDART) in Mexico City, he completed his higher studies at the Escuela Nacional de Pintura, Escultura y Grabado "La Esmeralda" through 2011. From 2013 to 2015 he was a recipient of the Young Creators Program grant from the Fondo Nacional para la Cultura y las Artes (FONCA). His work has been part of numerous solo and group exhibitions in Mexico, the United States, and Europe.
Among the distinctions he has received are an Honorable Mention at the Bienal Nacional de Pintura Julio Castilla (2009) for the work "Salmo CVIII," exhibited at Galería Libertad in Querétaro, as well as first place for work acquisition at the Bienal de Arte of the Universidad de Hidalgo (2011).
