Daniel Lezama
Mexico City, 1968

Plastic artist. His work is unmistakable formal reference to the great traditions of painting, but what is there is a dramatic fiction told in a daily scenario. Carnality, indifference, tenderness, or fatalism of the characters in his paintings are a heresy against contemporary sensibility, opening the surface of a glass darkly, panting and ironic that confronts the political structure and culture that separates us from the gross realities of existence. In the form of family dramas ambiguous or allegorical representations, large paintings make a record of sites and uncensored artistic icons who have witnessed the confrontation of Mexican identity.
