Sergio Lopez
Humble beginnings as a creative person can lead you down a path to make your dreams realized in the future with enough hard work.
What I hope to bring to the world is an understanding of the importance of beauty for the human soul by creating the most beautiful awe-inspiring works I’m capable of, and helping others create their art at the greatest capacity, then communicating why these works matter.
My paintings are the truest representation of what I want to express and what I believe to be the best representation of what I consider beautiful. They present my skill sets in all facets to the highest degree and what I want you to have the ability to access.
