Arte Sergio Padilla

Sergio Padilla was born in Mexico in 1971. He studied advertising and at the age of 20 he immersed himself in the world of art as a runner. His passion for painting leads him to study the great masters of contemporary art, with this influence and immersed in this world decides to take the brush in 1991, paints his first picture in watercolor on cardboard, but the vicissitudes of life lead him to leave painting to continue running art, until in 2011, finds an easel in an antique store and decides to buy it, before this great piece of wood returns the sublimatory desire to capture. He begins to paint in oil spatula on cotton canvas in an impressionist style, in 2012 he begins in hyperrealism which bears fruit and in 2013 he exhibits in a collective for the first time in the National Museum of Art (MUNAL). This opens the doors in the United States and begins to exhibit his works in galleries in different states such as New York, California and Florida. At the beginning of 2014 begins to paint monochromatic chiaroscuro and decides to make a tribute to a great master “Michelangelo”, so he captures a fragment of the famous sculpture “La Piedad” oil on cotton canvas, being this one of the most significant for the artist. This work was well received and praised by curators and art critics. “Art is not only a form of expression, it has become what allows me to breathe, a sense and a nonsense of who I am.
