About The Artist
Gabriel Sánchez Viveros is an architect from the National Autonomous University of Mexico. To date, he has completed 60 projects between architectural design, interior design and application of art in spaces. He worked for 15 years in Saudi Arabia, where he built and completed architectural and interior design proposals in palaces for various clients including the royal family.
Although he’s an architect by profession, it’s impossible to classify him in a single area since he is creative by nature and that has led him to explore various artistic methods since he was a child. Currently and for some years, he has prioritized the development of his career as a visual artist. His work is manifested in several disciplines such as sculpture, art-object, painting, photography, engraving, among others; but what makes his work so particular is that the artist juxtaposes concepts and materials typical of architecture in his pieces.
In the last 4 years, his artistic work has been shown individually and collectively in Mexico and abroad in more than 30 exhibitions, which include:
The Global Art Competition “United Against CORONA - Express Through Art”, Indian Council for Cultural Relations, Nueva Delhi, India (2020), Respirando Arte, Exposición Virtual, FUA, Tabasco, México (2020), The Shade of Silence en U Gallery, Beijing, China (2020), Flora’s Soul en la Galería Ixcateopan, Acapulco, Guerrero, México (2020), The Beijing International Art Biennale, National Art Museum of China, Beijing, China (2019), Synergy: From Manila to Acapulco en la galería Zhou B Art Center, Chicago (2019), Flora’s Soul en la Galería Oscar Román, CDMX (2019), Rojo: Historias Sobre Papel Amate en el Museo de Culturas Populares, CDMX (2018), Flora’s Soul en Latin American Art Fair, San Diego, E.U.A.
