Cid Soard Biography

Juan Carlos Fernández, artistically known as Cid Suard, is a talented up-and-coming avant-garde artist, working with various artistic styles and mediums.

After abandoning his training in Graphic Design in 1987, Cid created “The PsychoRealist Group” with two other painters: Piru y Cyr Casas.

In 1989, Cid held his first exhibition together with Cyr Casas, called “The Other Side of The Mood” at the Galeria Balance, in Mexico. Subsequently the group continued to exhibit at various alternative spaces and helped create the EXPO ARTE JOVEN, an emerging art exhibition, which was also shown at the CONTEMPORARY ART MUSEUM, SANTIAGO DE CHILE AND RUFINO TAMAYO MUSEUM, MEXICO CITY.

The PsychoRealist Group held its last exhibition, PSICORREAXILA, in 1994. The celebrated Mexican Artist, José Luis Cuevas, inaugurated the Exhibition.
