Sergio Mora www.sergiomora.com

“Sergio Mora is a multitalented artist: he creates pictures, illustrations, he “flirts” with comic, makes video, performance and his work often walks along his personal image, exhibiting certain showman skills.Behind the nice and magical image of his work, a real great painter hides, yet to be discovered in his whole potential, able to transmit a universe of pictorial energy, without a need to tie himself to any figurative or common image to shine with a genuine personality.” Enric Font

“Sergio Mora es un artista polifacético: realiza pinturas, ilustraciones, “flirtea” con el cómic, realiza videos, perfomance, y a menudo su obra va acompañada de su imagen personal, exhibiendo ciertas dotes de showman.Detrás de la imagen simpática y mágica de su obra, se esconde un pintor en mayúsculas aún por descubrir en toda su potencia, capaz de transmitir un universo de energía pictórica, sin necesidad de vincularse a una imagen figurativa ni corriente alguna, para brillar con personalidad propia.” Enric Font

“Tener una buena técnica es importante, pero solo la pasión marca la diferencia”. El diseñador gráfico Giulio Rossi, que trabaja en su estudio de L’Aquila, es sin ninguna duda, un torrente de pasión cuyas obras han sido reconocidas a nivel internacional al conseguir que Madonna eligiese una de sus obras en 2014 para su proyecto Art For Freedom. Después de sus primeros ensayos con pintura acrílica, tinta y carbón, éste autodidacta no tardó en probar el arte digital cómo su nueva herramienta para su profusa creación artística.
