Victor Hugo Perez searches in figuration the creation of images of great potential and vitality, which brings us closer to pictorial irrationalism in that his work individuality and the exercise of will are privileged over the rational comprehension of the objective world or the credible representation of the theme, which might be understood as a legitimate posture against idealization of forms; a characteristic that gives his work an identity of visual and spontaneous strength.

This vital impulse of his stroke, finds in intuition the base of his pictorial activity, taking him to create images of a visual impact for the expectant person. In his work, the represented characters may be understood under the adjective of a pictorial violence notwithstanding they are products of gestural informalism to begin with and from biomorphic lines that link him to the primitive; which allows him to make his figures with an intentional deflection that binds him to expressionism, heightening him by a material tendency of fast strokes from which recognizable figures arise.

That is how through impulsive strokes over the surface, autonomous images of human beings and animals emerge through graphical symbols with a certain degree of humor and irony, as well as with transformation processes, metamorphosis or hybridization; figures represented with distinctive features of anguish, violence and conflict associated to the globalized world, the current world of the artist, and therefore, his work is the faithful echo of the plastic circumstance and a reflection of his creative individuality.

Through his characters, the representation of sexuality is recurrent through the female body, representing fertility by this way; as well as the erotic, rebel, dominating, aggressive woman, but always being in charge of the scene and whose willingness is seen at  first glance through challenging and provocative postures; on a way of unrefined graphic elements with pure colors and strokes that lack deepness in perspective in the forefront, which always speaks of the key role of the character.

On the other hand, within his atmosphere, he uses intense primary colors applying the paint in a totally impulsive manner; using white and black to re-draw or enhance his chromatic  fields from which his characters clearly outstand and whose actions are clearly established or determined when including, in an aleatory manner, the composition of inscriptions and narratives in words related with the theme, alluding the intention or motivation. That also allows him to reiterate his contents or re-direct the visual reading of each piece.

In this context, we can appreciate how irrationality is used in his work and how anarchy is used as an essential property of his work, not as a defect or lightness on the formal way. These characteristics are useful for him to express not only the proper actions of his characters but also to conceptualize his thinking as an artist, just like someone who looks for the phenomenon of provocation and to translate the unbearable excess of tension before the rational hegemony of figurative art. Furthermore, the rules and formalities de ne the “proper” behavior in our society; creating a more free poetic and pictorial scape, which was done from the angle of intentionality that is appreciated and read in the same way in each one of the different techniques that he uses: drawing, sculpture or painting.

For all the above, we can say that Victor Hugo Perez conceives art as an action joint to visual energy and the translation of emotions; something he works on with an intense passion exclusively directed to the creative act without predetermining himself; using with certainty and mastery biting and violent lines and strokes in order to manifest his critical and rebel spirit.
