Boris Viskin

He spent his youth in Israel (Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, and Kibbutz Galed), and later lived for three years in Florence, Italy, where he began his career as a painter. In 1985, he returned to Mexico City and spent two years attending engraving and lithography workshops at the Academy of San Carlos.

“I have always been suspicious and uncomfortable with words. From a very early age, the world of images has always been a more solid and secure space for me. Therefore, painting, with all its limitations, has been the ideal medium for me to weave together my multiple and contradictory personalities. At times I feel like an intuitive caveman; at other times, a conceptual artist.”
