Sandro De Ponte is a contemporary artist whose life has been inextricably linked to the world of art since childhood. Born in Mexico City to a Mexican mother and an Italian father, he grew up surrounded by creativity through his family’s handmade paper business. This early exposure to artistic materials led him to pursue formal studies in drawing, painting, and engraving, further refining his skills in workshops across Italy.

Vision and Style Deeply influenced by the contemporary art movement in Barcelona, De Ponte has developed a non-realistic figurative style characterized by exaggerated proportions that create a unique compositional harmony. The human figure remains at the core of his work, depicted with great tenderness: male figures embody virility, while female characters symbolize the more sensitive and nurturing side of humanity.

Technique and Color His artworks are defined by a warm color palette, dominated by ochre and red hues. Working primarily with acrylics, he uses water to rework the medium, creating pieces with abundant texture and tactile depth. His portraits are frequently paired with symbolic elements that add layers of meaning to each visual narrative.
