MÍRAME Fine Art Proudly Represents Pablo Mejias: A Rising Talent in Costa Rican Contemporary Art

Pablo Mejías: A Visionary of Costa Rican Art

Pablo Mejías’ exploration of death, eroticism, and metaphysics promises to enthrall art lovers. Born in 1985 and based in Alajuela, Costa Rica, Mejías’ work explores the complex interplay of light and darkness, expressed through his distinctive use of oil paint, ink, and pencil on paper.

Unique Artistic Techniques and Themes

Mejías begins with the grisaille technique, a monochromatic approach that manipulates shades of grey to build depth and form. This method allows him to create dramatic effects, involving the use of candles in his studio to enhance the interplay of light and shadow. His grand-scale compositions are not only visually striking but are also infused with enigmatic characters and otherworldly landscapes that reflect his personal trauma and philosophical inquiries.

“The torment of the human soul has the power to birth something new,” states Mejías, highlighting the essence of his art.

A Dark and Enigmatic World

The artist’s oeuvre resonates with dark, unsettling themes where the grotesque and the fantastic converge. His paintings frequently feature figures immersed in water, symbolizing both drowning and emergence. Birds and fish, often depicted in states of decay or transformation, populate his canvases, adding a visceral dimension to his exploration of life, death, and the supernatural.

Exhibition at AG Gallery

Earlier this year, Mejías was featured in the exhibition titled “3” at San José’s AG Gallery, showcasing the works of three of Costa Rica’s contemporary artists: Pablo Mejías, Philipp Anaskin, and Enrique Kayejero. It highlighted the diverse landscape of Costa Rican contemporary art, reaffirming the significance of Costa Rican art exhibitions.

Influences and Recognition

Influenced by Francis Bacon and Edvard Munch, Mejías has exhibited at prominent venues including the National Gallery of Costa Rica in San José, earning him recognition for his highly personal and provocative artworks. His pieces serve as both a mirror and a confessional outlet, inviting viewers to grapple with their own inner turmoil.
