Sócrates Rízquez García, hyperimpressionist painter

Sócrates
Rízquez García

A Spanish painter, born in Málaga and based in Guadix (Granada), Sócrates Rízquez has spent more than four decades developing a pictorial language entirely his own — one that has crystallised into Hyperimpressionism: a style born of practice, of accumulated experience, and of the need to give a name to something that already existed in his work before language caught up with it.

Working with synthetic enamels on aluminium — materials of industrial origin that acquire a singular luminosity in his hands — his work captures the city at its most electric: the nocturnal rain of New York, the reflections on the wet asphalt of Chicago, the luminous stillness of Brooklyn at dawn. Every painting is unique. Every work, an emotion that does not shout: it whispers.

Meet the artist
"Hyperimpressionism arose from a real,
profound and specific need:
to give form to a way of seeing and painting that found no adequate expression in any existing pictorial language."

Hyperimpressionism is a living synthesis between the vibrational immediacy of Impressionism and the observational rigour of Hyperrealism. It neither reproduces reality as a camera would nor dissolves it into open brushwork: it transforms, intensifies and presses it until what lies behind the visible is finally revealed.

Enamel on aluminium is not merely a technique. It is part of the language itself. The work does not reflect light: it generates it from within.

My Friendly Eyes Acknowledgements

Many of my works are born from someone else's spark: a photograph shared with generosity, a moment captured by someone who looked where I had not yet been. To all of them, thank you for lending your images and for being, without knowing it, part of every painting.
