Sniqus
Sniqus, is a surrealist artist living in Spain, bringing his 10 new artworks to the first solo exhibition in Shanghai titled “Synonyms”.Sniqus’s canvas is a dreamland of color and curves where he digs deep into the visualization of the conscious and unconscious mind.The artist’s human figures are without conventional form- psychedelic, sinuous interior labyrinths that feel infinite in their complex construction-much like the human mind.
Embedded in each of Sniqus paintings are deep patterns of meaning - symbols, multiple characters, involved narratives, but the storylines are not obvious. The mass of movement and vibration, the explosion of color, and extraordinary detail of these interior worlds are demanding on the viewer - one must look extremely close, moving slowly over the surface to begin to unwind the intermingled forms and their significance. The opaqueness of meaning is itself a message of the work - Sniqus believes in the subjectivity of a person’s reality, and he wants the viewer to come to see his work from their own unique perspective, whatever that may mean.

About the Artist
Sniqus
Symbolic Surrealism
He lives and works in Sabadell (Barcelona, Spain). Inspired by the words of one of the best Catalan surrealists Modest Cuixart about his quality of imagination and infinite creation of new forms he decides to start being part of the art world in 2003.
Since then he has learned several techniques such as oil, acrylic, airbrush, paint with inks, sprays that he later combines in one with a very marked style. His points, stripes, circles, hidden labyrinths come together to show you feelings, scenes of life and beyond, passions, failures and joys, motivational characters. Forms that demonstrate the virtues and defects of this magical-tragic experience called life.
