Born in Xalapa, Veracruz, Nicolás Guzmán studied Fine Arts at the Universidad Veracruzana (2001-2005). His career as an artist includes disciplines such as painting, sculpture, performance, installation, printmaking, photography, and video. His research focuses on the very nature of art; questioning the possibilities of the visual arts, the role of creation from the materials, and the inherent limitations that both these, as well as the formats of representation, mean in the perception of constructive elements such as matter, color, and space. This continuous questioning leads to the search for resolutions through experimental processes that are in continuous transformation, in different directions, and with diverse possibilities of expression. Conceiving art as an exercise of thought; a constant practice of translation and compositional executions. Nicolás Guzmán has had solo exhibitions at the Museo de arte prehispánico Rufino Tamayo, Oaxaca, Museo de la Ciudad de México, CDMX, Galería Chao Galpao, Sao Luis, Brazil, Spike Print Studio, Bristol, England, USSR, CDMX; as well as group exhibitions at Galería Nueva, Madrid, Spain, Tokyo University of Arts and Music, Japan, Centro de las Artes San Agustín Etla, Oaxaca, La Quiñonera, CDMX, among others.
