Sergio Lopez For the Birds

Lopez, in his mid twenties, is a graduate of the Academy of Art in San Francisco and is also an exemplary painter in a variety of mediums. His artistic knowledge ballooned when he discovered his love of oil painting and charcoal drawing. Sergio filled sketchbook after sketchbook with observations from life as well as drawings from his imagination. The Golden Age illustrators, Bravura painters, contemporary artists, concept designers, graffiti writers, and photographers have been some of his strongest influences in his pursuit of painting. Sergio continues to work in a variety of mediums and styles. From oil and gouache landscapes, to acrylic illustrations, to nude gesture studies in newsprint, he enjoys it all. Sergio especially enjoys discovering new vistas, setting up his easel, and creating a piece on the spot.
