Artist Statement

Growing up in the Yucatan, Sabido was primarily influenced by the boldness of vibrant colors. His is an understanding of color that is limitless rather than structured. His color identification comes from living in the Caribbean climate where the waters of the sea are a cerulean blue and filled with large schools of fish, turtles and coral reef. Houses are painted in vivid colors of pinks and yellows and greens. Cedar, ceiba, pich, and poak trees lines the forests. As he states: "My art is the result of and endless exploration of simply combination of colors and textures. My concept of colors is greatly influenced by the colors of the Caribbean and the intensity of the light. There is a constant battle between the sunlight and the nature's bright colors. My art in turn becomes a celebration of beauty and life brought about by this struggle."
