Sanchez Aguilar Abel
Abel is a creator with neurofunctional diversity whose passion for drawing and fantasy worlds emerged in childhood. In his notebooks, he sketched characters and fantastic creatures, organizing them as if they were in a catalog or sample book. As a teenager, his illustrations grew larger and more complex. They evolved from scenes populated by mythological species, hybrid animals, and imaginary beings to compositions centered on architectural environments and futuristic cities. His intense use of color and meticulous attention to detail—such as the unique “walls” constructed with fretwork—shaped a unique cosmogony reflecting his inner universe.
However, the sudden death of his father during the pandemic had a profound impact on Abel’s work. His drawings gradually lost their chromatic intensity, dwindling to slight variations in color until he definitively adopted the exclusive use of black ink in his early youth. Since then, color has disappeared entirely from his compositions. While maintaining the same paper dimensions, his style has evolved significantly: the scale of the elements has been reduced, allowing him to fill the surface of the paper with a greater number of creative forms.
Each piece becomes a meticulous web of details, patterns, and textures that he crafts with great precision. Fantasy and his vision of a future world where technology intertwines with the natural environment continue to inspire him.
Abel approaches each of his drawings with deep concentration, treating them as individual projects and devoting several months to completing them. His creative process coexists with his daily job as a gardening assistant and his love of cooking. These activities complement his personal universe and nourish his artistic sensibility.
