Cárdenas’s multimedia practice combines painting, drawing, sculpture, video animations and wall murals to create immersive environments. Filled with art historical references to the ancient Pre-Columbian era and European modernism, his work merges elements of realism and abstraction to create mysteriously futuristic compositions. Cárdenas renders his subjects in impossible perspectives, setting otherworldly stages for his imagined creatures and vegetation to come to life.
