STATEMENT
My work is a deeply intimate and emotional journey, a reflection of introspection and personal experiences. Inspired by movements such as Expressionism, Cubism, and Pop Art, I construct a visual language that explores identity and human emotions, seeking to touch the essence of each viewer.
I am recognized for my ability to distill complex concepts into simple yet powerful forms, strokes that convey a clear and direct message. My passion lies in intervening in realities, fusing them in unique ways, as if they were paths crossing and transforming one another. This multidisciplinary approach, spanning both traditional and digital techniques, gives me the versatility to expand my creative horizons while staying true to my primary goal: to create works that convey genuine and accessible emotions.
I yearn for my work to resonate with those who contemplate it, to awaken dormant emotions and open a space for reflection, questioning, and transcendence. I want my art to be an invitation to look beyond the obvious, to dive deeper, and rediscover the shared humanity in all of us.
My journey is deeply connected to the culture that shaped me, a symbolic legacy that permeates every stroke and image. I firmly believe that art is a transformative tool, a light that challenges, illuminates, and educates. Today, my creative exploration centers on personal identity, a process in which I intervene in realities to offer the viewer an opportunity to see themselves in the reflection of art and rediscover their value as human beings.

BIOGRAPHY
Ismael Gudiño was born in Argentina in 1982 just after the end of the Falklands War. Gudiño has been making art for as long as he can remember.
He is a self-taught artist who specialized in drawing and capturing each of his creations on different types of media and with different techniques. That is why his attitude towards any commission is primarily artistic, using a universal and timeless language that adds value, uniqueness and emotion to his proposals.
The advantages of being born in Argentina and living in a “constant crisis” made him a multidisciplinary person (always in the areas of design and art), even before this was a value recognized by society.
Since 2001 he has created designs and illustrations for large companies such as Coca-Cola, DHL, Western Union, Petrobras, Gameloft among others; In 2012 and 2015, he represented the Starbucks brand in Latin America and Central America as a guest artist to intervene in customers' cups, personalizing each one of them.
He found his own style, versatile and in constant movement, so his work clearly reflects the results of those years of searching and personal recognition.
Ismael expresses himself through a personal language, complex in its intention and simple in its manifestation, innocent and provocative at the same time, which helps him to innovate, take risks and communicate; to continue playing with the eyes that look at his work and create complicity with the other.
In 2014 he had his first solo exhibition at the Casa de la Cultura in the City of Salta, Argentina and in 2019 he managed to exhibit at the Museum of Contemporary Art in this same city.
In 2022 Gudiño focused on creating immediate art for the whole world. He moved to Barcelona chasing a dream and will not stop, always carrying the flag of "art for all", expressing himself on walls, regular rooms, clothes and everything that can be accompanied with art.
He traveled, deconstructed himself and put himself back together with new pieces. He enriched his visual language, freed his mind, took hold of the sentence that THERE ARE NO LIMITS, changing his entire system to something flexible and adaptable.
A tireless and passionate person for creative work, he continues to play, explore and learn day by day.
His passion is to inspire others, and he does it best by creating art.
