Sergio Moyano Art

Sergio Moyano was born in Cordoba, Argentina, in 1934. He studied at the National School of Fine Arts, the National Academy and the Superior School of Art in Buenos Aires. His studies and sojourns in Paris, Munich, Mexico City, Santa Fe and New York City spurred his interest in Op Art and Abstractionism, as well as his love of etching and monotypes. Moyano finally settled in Santa Fe, home of his lifelong friend Ron Adams. It was in Adams's Hand Graphics shop that Moyano honed his skills at printing.

Moyano continued to produce canvases, monotypes and etchings until his death. A lifetime of spiritual and cultural influences is reflected in Moyano's work, which in turn mirrors his inner life. And like his inner life, they are in constant transition. An artwork might express years of experience or a transitory emotional state. In his later works, his palate for both canvases and monotypes included black, an essential color, but brighter and more vibrant colors dominated. All pervasive are feelings of harmony among the elements in an individual work and a sense of optimism in the body of work as a whole.
