Artist Profile

Sergio Preciado Fàbregas, born in 1987 in Spain, Barcelona he is a self-taught artist.

Since he was a child he always had a love for drawing and art, demonstrating over the years his improvement and development without resorting to any school of painting.

Sergio was inspired by his paternal grandfather who saw his beautiful oil canvases painted since he was a child, who has been a reference and admired his patience and skill in Art and painting.

In his adolescence Sergio abandoned Art, due to his personal problems at home, on the street, stress, pressure from his family and other people to dedicate himself and study Fine Arts. Because of all his problems, he undertook his first trip to Cuba at the age of 17 where he was able to learn about the Afro-Cuban culture and its ancestral traditions.

After numerous trips to Cuba, he decided to travel to the origins of the Yoruba culture, located in West Africa, specifically Nigeria and Benin.

After 16 years of absolute rejection of the virtue that life gave him, inspired by his feelings towards the Yoruba tradition and his beliefs throughout his life, in addition to his love for Africa they have created his identity and style, awakening and recovering at the age of 33 his love for Art with its hyperrealism and abstract art.

It should be remembered that his art was self-taught without any type of study.

The recent themes in Sergio's work are facial expressions, details in deep looks, Yoruba deities and externalizing the essence of these experiences and of his own personal history.
