CURATOR'S COMMENTS
In Sergio Lopez’s work, I see his joy in visual expression and passion for conveying the beauty he finds around him. Sergio seems to effortlessly communicate through his brush. His art takes you on his journey. From the many awards Sergio has won in Plein Air competitions, we know that he paints swiftly. But you can also see it in his paintings, which have the confident brush strokes of a Joaquin Sorolla. And like Sorolla, he is a painter’s painter. Sergio has a mastery of tonal values that convey a true sense of the light. He judiciously edits the scene before him, creating a painterly piece that captures the essence of both the scene and the moment
