Sergio (b.2003) is an Afrodominican-Spanish artist, photographer and director who currently attends to college on a Audiovisual Communication Photography degree. At the same time, he works on both personal and external creative comissions related to photography and moving image in the fashion and creative industry.
His creative journey began at the age of 15 when he picked up one of his old film cameras from his mom. His work spans across fashion, racial narratives, documentary storytelling, and observations. Sergio places profound significance on colorimetry and the essence of the Black individual. His practice strives to redefine new perceptions on blackness and its beauty, particularly delving into the intricacies of Spanish-Black society and diaspora.
Inspiration comes from the void of racial presence and representation in his surroundings, both within his family and social sphere during his upbringing, tethered to his Black/Afro-Latin roots. His craft bears witness to the nuanced experiences of the Black individual and contemporary youth. Beyond mere observation, his personal work serves as a celebration of the subjects that inhabit his world, painting a vivid portrait of his reality.
This aspect of Sergio's work functions as a vessel for his own journey of self-discovery and to fashion a world that conveys his love and reverence for his cultural background, history, and heritage through visual beauty. He invites the viewer to feel the same way and share in the depth of his emotions. This environment not only ignited a fervent devotion to the arts within him but also molded his identity as a Black/Dominican, biracial individual.
(2024) Selected as one of the 40 artist from the "Latino-American Panorama Open Call" by PHOTOVogue.
(2024) Shades Of Yellow selected to screen at Minute Shorts Film Festival Points Of View in New York City.
(2024) Part of the group show "What I Know is Possible" curated by Ronan Mckenzie at Bernie Grant Arts Centre London.
