BIO

Simón Vázquez is an artist based in Barcelona who has dedicated his career to the exploration of a wide range of artistic disciplines. His training in the Catalan city has left a deep imprint on his work, which spans from painting to animation.

Throughout his career, Simón has found inspiration in the world around him, blending elements of everyday culture with his own artistic vision. This connection to daily life is reflected in his work, which is often sharp and sarcastic while remaining tender.

At present, his primary focus is on sculpture. His creations encompass bronze sculptures with a more classical style infused with a personal touch and hand-painted resin sculptures that incorporate humor and a unique perspective. Some of his resin pieces are available in limited editions through his website.

Through his art, Simón Vázquez invites viewers to explore the world around them in a fresh and authentic way, challenging norms and evoking emotions in those who immerse themselves in his world.
