Sergio Rando
About sea and windows on the world
Sergio’s works of art embody windows of emotions that end up being imprisoned by the canvas. Your gaze begins focused on the window, the colors then take over the shape and follow their own path towards colors within the depth of your memories,re-emerging with arrogance on the canvas. The transition from acrylic to oil brings to light an intense new version of the artist. The structure of the paintings that one perceives is similar to that of looking at the cities from a window, perhaps as though you are in the Basilica of San Giorgio overlooking the Grand Canal in Venice. The violence of the colors is another key to enter Sergio’s works. The initial impact shows a balance of colors that, like the strong reflection of the sun in the sea, shows makes you look away but at the same time stare directly at it. This intense journey brings back memories of the oceans and the city, almost as if it were the beginning of spring, a swallow or a summer memory which we cannot place within a certain time frame but we know we have already lived it.
