Throughout the years, Cacho Falcon has created art deeply connected to lived experiences, focusing on the intimate relationship between subject and space within specific moments and settings. This journey began in 1998, painting stories on denim, a wearable medium that symbolized pride and acceptance. These pieces emerged from encounters with his subjects, where he listened to their stories and translated their emotions into art. For the artist, this process was not just a way to preserve memories but also a personal refuge, allowing him to express inner feelings without fear of judgment.

 

Over time, the concept evolved from denim to the human body, using skin as a canvas to further explore themes of vulnerability, strength, and connection. His work on canvas also changed, shifting from highly detailed narrative depictions to a more abstract form. Footsteps, imprinted directly onto the canvas, became symbols of the journeys we undertake. These marks represent stepping into experiences, serving as a visual metaphor for the paths we walk and the stories they tell. The use of color in these abstract works acts as an emotional x-ray, capturing the essence of a moment and reflecting the artist’s state of mind. Each piece serves as a vivid timestamp, allowing him to recall where he was emotionally and spiritually at the time of its creation.

 

Today, his work invites viewers to step into the world he creates, to see through his eyes, feel through his heart, and experience the profound interplay of art, memory, and humanity.
