Ismael Sentíes (Mexico City, 1992) studied at the Escuela Nacional de Pintura, Escultura y Grabado “La Esmeralda” and later at the Universidad Iberoamericana. He also attended workshops at The New York Academy of Art, Centro de las Artes de San Agustín, Universidad CENTRO and the contemporary art laboratory Espositivo in Madrid.

In his work, composed of drawings and paintings, is recognizable an exploration of the dynamism of the landscape through opposing forces: the abstract and the figurative, the harmonious and the chaotic, the close and the distant. He seeks the living openness of metaphor: not the linear discourse of what has a fixed identity, but the language of what could be several things at once. His experience includes exhibitions in diverse regions and collaborations in internationally recognized artist residencies. In addition to his practice as a painter and draftsman, he has worked as an art manager and gallery owner. Founding partner and co-director of the artistic residence COBERTIZO. He is based in Mexico City.
