Author Bio
Fidel Perez is a contemporary ceramic sculptor whose work explores the intersection of identity and transformation while contextualizing himself in modern society. Rooted in his experiences, his art reflects a deep curiosity for how personal and societal narratives intertwine. Through his ceramic masks, Fidel examines the identities we wear and shed, using clay as a medium that mirrors the malleable nature of transformation. Themes of dark whimsy, nostalgia, loss, and mystery are central to his work, as he seeks to evoke emotional responses and foster a deeper connection between the viewer and the ongoing process of change. At its pulse, his work nurtures a conversation about society and how institutions influence change.
