I am so in love with this series by San Fransisco based artist Sergio Lopez. There is something so simple yet so mysterious and intricate about these works. The sexual rawness and delicacy Lopez captures in the female form and the muted natural tones leave me enchanted with each painting. This body of work consists of oil and gouache works on paper, linen and canvas. Definitely on the wish list of art to have on my wall one day :) I have a feeling I'm going to need a lot of wall space!
Painted Roses
Sergio artfully merges the figure in and out of the background playing with patterns of the femininity and delicacy of roses, with the dark, urban hint of floral tattoos and piercings all loosely played around the soft delicate translucence of the female figure. "Painted Roses" demonstrates how our real and perfect beauty is usually not visible or exposed; it is often covered by external facade dictated by the culture we live in, some of which is not easily removed or separated from one's true self.
