In the art of Héctor Acevedo, the Peruvian artist, who has lived in Spain for some years, shows us how the border between the figurative and the abstract is very thin. His compositional references to masters of Italian Renaissance art, especially Boticelli, are very evident, although the color tones that he uses all the time are bold, the colors achieving visual harmony. Figures with a sculptural or in any case imposing feature characterize his mixed media canvases where oil, a very ancient technique, is mixed with contemporary acrylic. The narrative will of the artist Acevedo stands out when it comes to the symbolic and colorful description he makes of him, the fear of leaving some spaces unfinished leads him to fill his works compositionally and coloristically.
