Maestro Herrera studied
Industrial Engineering. For more than fifteen years, he dedicated his working life to the
development of computer systems for the management of enormous databases. This
complex world of classification, organization, and information application
requires not only the skills of a practical mind, but also that of a great
creative capability.
The
creativity that he stimulated within the systems slowly became transported into
the plastic arts, specifically sculpture. Systems gave way to the earth, the
modeling of clay and mud, to the creation of everyday objects, which in time
generated the creation of more complex figures. The languages of sculpture took him to the discovery of new materials,
such as wood and rock, and the development of carving, polishing and ink
staining techniques, thus generating an interesting connection between his modeled
pieces and those that have ultimately emerged.
Fidelio
has studied under the guidance of distinguished masters of sculpture, engraving
and drawing from the San Carlos Academy and the National Institute of Fine Arts.
He has allowed himself to be led by the subtle teachings of yet another one of
his greatest passions, music, which can somehow be heard in his pieces.
In
the works of Fidelio Herrera, we can see characters that remind us of the
Corzian Nomads, emerging from organic architectures. A dialog between technique
and dreams, sometimes conscious and other times flowing from praxis. Sketching
synthesis that expresses itself in structures of wire, occasionally covered
with clay and other materials, an allegory of that which is ephemeral and that
which is constant.
In
the works of Fidelio Herrera we can see volumes that allow us to enter and exit
the realm of reality, generating mass with such a visual nimbleness that we are
invited to enter into these worlds and become lost in their rhythms.
