Sergio “VALENZ” Valenzuela, born in 1970 in Guatemala, is a multi-talented artist, creative director, and educator with a passion for exploring the intersection of graphic design and fine art. With a major in Communications and a concentration in Education from the prestigious Universidad Galileo de Guatemala, VALENZ is also a professor, teaching university courses on creativity, advertising, and graphic design at his alma mater.

VALENZ’s impressive artistic career spans over three decades and has earned him global recognition with over 80 group shows and 30 solo exhibitions across South America and around the world. His first group show was at the renowned Bienal de Arte Paiz in Guatemala City in 1992. Since then, his works have been showcased in prominent institutions such as the French Allegiance of Guatemala, Forma Museum of El Salvador, and in private collections across Guatemala, Central America, Europe, Mexico, and the United States of America.

Among VALENZ’s many accolades, he was selected as the winner of the “Young Artist” award in 2005 and was granted a scholarship to study at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris, France. VALENZ’s artworks embody a fusion of graphic design and fine art techniques, and he is known for his innovative use of color, form, and composition.

VALENZ tells stories with everyday objects. He says of his work, “By using elements such as chairs, ladders, beds, monocycles, trapeze artists, swings, machines… it is a way of telling stories about life. The chairs signify, according to the context, opportunities and the patience required for them to step into our lives. The ladders represent our desire to climb, to continue our personal growth. Beds represent periods when we sleep and dream, things we cannot share with anyone else.”
