XAVIER YARTO<br />
Mexico<br />
Through his abstract work, Mexican painter<br />
Xavier Yarto creates unique and impactful<br />
images of strongly exuding energy, vibrance<br />
and symbolism, via his use of colour and<br />
composition.<br />
Yarto seeks to go beyond abstract art by<br />
combining his technique with “high-relief”, of<br />
pre-Hispanic culture. By doing this, the artist<br />
transforms concept by reinforcing it with a<br />
new set of colours that he creates to highlight<br />
meaning in each icon used in his work.<br />
After exhibiting in several renowned places in<br />
his native Mexico, Yarto has been invited to<br />
present his work abroad, in countries including<br />
Sweden, Netherlands, Spain, England, Austria,<br />
France, Italy, United States and Belgium.<br />
Yarto’s art offers the viewer the quality of<br />
an abstract work, whilst taking on figurative<br />
and iconic symbols of the enigmatic world<br />
of pre-Columbian art in a new way. <strong>The</strong> artist<br />
describes his work as “a recreation of the<br />
Hispanic culture with a modern language.”<br />
Much like many elements of his cultural<br />
heritage, including music, the pieces Yarto<br />
has chosen to donate to the Acrylic Melody<br />
initiative are effervescent, powerful and<br />
suggestive.<br />
