Young Spanish artist Ivan Prieto relatively recently, he began to climb up the creative career ladder, but his extraordinary works have already won fame and recognition of the public. The fact is that the sculptures of this author, although conceptual, are at the same time very realistic, because they represent the extremes of a person, his sins and shortcomings, which even a handsome man can turn into a goblin. The meaning of such works is usually hidden deeply in the subtext, and you can understand it just as deeply in the subconscious. But with our eyes we still see the different-sized freaks that nature has created, as if wanting to laugh properly. And yet there is no weapon stronger than laughter. Including over oneself. Therefore, it seems that it is no coincidence that all the important symbols, images and signs that determine the negative aspects of our society, Ivan Prieto hid in these strange creatures.
Giant sculptures depict people and beasts, people as beasts and other characters that defy description. They are ugly, but they have something in them. And everyone defines this "something" for himself. Yes, yes, that popular game of "guess what is here", which is so loved by modern sculptors, painters and other creative people.
Ivan Prieto is a very hardworking maestro. The young artist has a fairly extensive and varied portfolio. Not only sculptures, but all other creative works of this author can be seen on his creative website.
