Suffice it to say that years ago I was "forced" to use synthetic enamels as a media for a painting. Not only I achieved the challenge but learned a lot of very unique features of this type of painting as is the ultra-fast drying, bright colors and varnishes glossy finish.
These peculiarities of enamels cause me a spontaneous, close and very inspired by the great masters of Impressionism style, but my need for artistic expression remains very grounded in Pop Art and Hyperrealism. All the factors discussed above in addition to years of self-study made me differentiate my style of any other already established, and thus define and name: "Hyperimpressionism".
My painting reproduced photographic techniques or sometimes imitates blatantly in others. Both, choice and composition of my paintings as their treatment are continuously fed with photographic basics.
This way of painting has led me to conceive this series about New York as reminiscent of those travel brochures filled with colorful pictures that made me fantasize in my youth. Typical photographic motives that for their everyday life you never expect from a painting. In this series I want to record routine scenes, unpublished or unknown corners of this great city.
In short, I practice a friendly, straightforward and without extravagances paint. I frame motifs and scenes of everyday life that usually go unnoticed by granting them a role that until then they had not.

Sócrates Rízquez is a contemporary Spanish painter. He is also the artist who has coined the Hyper-Impressionist style and currently develops his work under this discipline with impressionist inspiration and results close to hyper-realism.
During the 80's he explored surrealism using various techniques, at the end of that decade he accidentally discovered painting with synthetic enamels and developed new techniques to create works of art through this means of merely industrial use. During those years he discovered and delved into Pop painting, developing works for posters and advertising. He adopts enamel as the only means of expression, and encouraged by the brilliance of the colors that this type of paint provides, he uses it for numerous different projects.
His works require two very different moments of viewing, the first seeks that the impression of the viewer when entering the room is that of contemplating a photograph, then the observer spontaneously, when approaching, discovers the true network of brazen and apparently careless brushstrokes that make up the scene. The union of these two sensations has been called by the artist "Hyper Impressionism".
Sócrates Rízquez was born in 1966, in Malaga, Spain. He has exhibited his work through various online galleries as well as physically at the Eclectic Gallery in London, which represents him both in his own exhibitions and in international art fairs.
