Fernando Escartiz is a talented artist who draws inspiration from his experiences and love for Mexican culture. He has been profoundly influenced by his good friend, the late Mexican sculptor Fernando Pereznieto. Fernando works in various media including paint and sculpture. He has created large installations that reflect his obsessions, such as traveling and observing the world around him. According to Fernando, traveling exposes him to new textures, colors, forms and emotions, which he later incorporates into his paintings and sculptures. About ten years ago, Fernando founded Escartiz Studio, which relies heavily on the collective contributions of artists, volunteers and friends. Their public work is an integral part of the studio's success, which has been serving the community for many years.
