Andrés Sánchez, known as Piro (Plasencia, 1994), is a visual artist and expressionist. His work explores the vital impulse and the stroke, in a continuous pursuit of creating sensory pieces. Expressionism appears through progressive impulses translated into strokes, marked by plastic freshness where color and vibration saturate the canvas. His autobiographical body of work is full of identity and energy, generating fully sensory pieces. With a degree in Design from the Complutense University of Madrid, he began his artistic journey on the streets under the pseudonym “Misterpiro,” a background he integrates into his studio practice, where freedom, experimentation, and expressionism interact with various surfaces and objects.
Piro’s work unfolds from deep subjectivity, vital experiences where distances, people, and moments create a range of intangible sensations and memories. An immaterial inspiration emerges through the characteristic abstract expressionism of his work, progressively developing through material, color, and forms across his entire body of work.
While expressionism is known for breaking from the established, in Piro’s work this departure transforms into complete creative freedom, filled with vital emotions at their peak, where music, humor, and play are essential ingredients in the process.
The result stands as a testament to the creative impulse, presenting a “progressive expressionism” of sensations and emotions gradually appearing in the work, transformed into material and strokes, a symbolic act of creation that transports us across a spectrum of feelings.
