Pablo Armesto (Schaffhausen, Switzerland, 1970) lives and works between Spain and Mexico.

 

His work is framed within an experimental space in which sculpture and painting coexist with the immaterial character of light and shadow, together with technology and science. Spirituality and the path are aspects present in his work that mark a line of argument through which he develops a theoretical concept around the material and immaterial expressed sometimes through physical light through his light sculptures made with fiber optics or through the use of pigments, and other elements that explore this concept making the work of this artist is iconic and of great plastic beauty.

 

He has worked with several galleries including Marlborough Gallery for over a decade and has participated in international fairs such as MACO, Dallas Art Fair, Art Miami, CONTEXT Miami, Art Geneve, ARCO, ARCOLisboa, Masterpiece London, ARTLima, ESTAMPA or ARTMadrid among others and in numerous solo and group exhibitions such as the current solo exhibition “The light we do not see” for the MACQ and among which are: The Color of Time.
