Pablo Lopez - Uruguay
Pez was born in Montevideo - Uruguay in 1975.
Influenced mainly by the artistic currents of cubism and surrealism, he takes his caricature art to the deformation and transformation of everything that passes through his gaze.
His works are inspired by great artists who have been part of our lives, and who have marked a before and after in their artistic field (mainly musical or film).
Consider that the caricature of a character is more representative than the most faithful of his photographic portraits.
He has won awards as an artist and as a designer during his vast career, in countries such as Spain, Cuba, Iran, Azerbaijan and Uruguay.
He currently works in her workshop located in the Old City of Montevideo, teaches caricature, painter and sculpture classes, and continues to develop, research and learn the techniques that most characterize her as a plastic artist.
