Abstract impressionist sculptor and painter Iván Madrigal began his artistic journey at a young age. Though talented as a child, it wasn’t until studying architecture that he passionately rediscovered his passion for art. He explores art from a curious, irreverent perspective to critique the ego that separates us from life’s truth: love.

A pivotal element in his work is the Playmobil toy, chosen for its dual significance—it was not only his childhood favorite but also a central theme in his art, symbolizing the replacement of ego with one’s bold and playful inner child. His perspective stems from a quest for happiness, embracing key values like self-discovery, celebrating existence, and finding joy in love.

Ivan Madrigal’s role in his work is to represent our true essence without prejudice or false beliefs. “The roughness of my strokes and disorder of color enrich my aesthetic vision. Every day, I reach the same conclusion without judgment or labels, simply what is. I don’t shy from my stance; it guides me beyond reason, beyond the mental plane, making me feel good and in harmony, as this certainty is truth.”

He exhibited extensively in Mexico City, including at Centro de Cultura de Tlalpan, Universidad Intercontinental, Museo de Arte Moderno, and participated in auctions and art fairs such as Iniciativa Kino, Art Fair MX, and Arte Bada, alongside international exhibitions in Montreal and recognition with a Doctor Honoris Causa from OMLID in Toluca.
