Eugenio Merino

Eugenio Merino's works are balanced between beliefs and disbelief, paradoxes and logic, taste and bad taste, respect and offense. The artist often assumes a cynical role and reveals uncomfortable views of contemporary societies. Throughout his career, Merino has demonstrated the ability to establish a trans disciplinary work, capable of merging different media such as neorealist sculpture, paintings, drawings or installations. He finds inspiration in a popular imaginary and in the media that he combines with dialectical, metaphorical and metonymic means to assemble his works of art. 

The opposition of different realities, as well as disparate references and symbols, also generate different possible ways of reading his artistic production. Elements from 21st century iconography and cultural stereotypes that have shaped Western thought can be found in his works of art with an added sense of acid irony and discursive sarcasm.
