Sabek (Madrid, 1985) begins his work intervening the streets and abandoned places around Madrid where he developes his graffiti style in the early 2000. Later he starts to produce more figurative work experimenting with different techniques and mediums in addition to his work on the walls. 

​

His unmistakable style is recognized by the representation of silhouettes inspired by nature and animals, particularly noble and powerful animals that provoke a strong sense of respect. His work poses a reflection on the human being and his relationship with the primal instincts.

​

In huge murals around the world (USA, France, Spain, Malaysia, Russia, New Zealand) SABEK shows us the hallmarks that make his style so recognizable. A particular mixture of subtlety and power in perfect balance in which the shapes and masses of flat colors, used almost as symbols, coexist perfectly with the most delicate details. Animals represented in a minimalist way that intermingle with plant forms and human representations in an allegory of natural balance and the energies that it channels. SABEK creates his compositions without making the symbols yield to the logic of what the scene is supposed to mean, and thus their works, rather than reflecting a reality, create it.

​

His work is shown in galleries in Spain, France and the United States.

Sabek (Madrid, 1985) es un artista español, que inicia y lleva a cabo parte de su carrera en Madrid. Comienza su trabajo interviniendo en las calles y lugares abandonados alrededor de la capital donde desarrolla su estilo. Posteriormente empieza a producir obras más gráficas y a experimentar con diferentes técnicas.

 

Su estilo inconfundible se reconoce por la representación de formas y colores que aluden al origen natural, especialmente en aquellos animales nobles y poderosos que infunden una fuerte sensación de respeto. Es por ello que su obra plantea una reflexión en torno al ser humano y su relación con la naturaleza.

 

En monumentales muros alrededor del mundo (EE.UU., Francia, España, Malasia, Rusia, Nueva Zelanda) SABEK muestra las huellas que hacen su estilo tan reconocible. Una mezcla de sutileza y poder en perfecto equilibrio con las sombras y masas de colores planos que usados en un aspecto casi simbólico, coexisten a la perfección con los detalles más refinados. La representación animal muestra la alegoría entre el equilibro natural y la energía en ella implícita mediante formas minimalistas vegetales y humanas. SABEK lleva a cabo composiciones sin la intención de otorgar una lógica al significado del símbolo, de modo que sus obras más que reflejar una realidad, la crean.

 

Su trabajo se puede encontrar en galerías de España, Francia y Estados Unidos.
