About

Sergio Valenzuela is a contemporary Guatemalan abstract artist who tells lushly colored stories with everyday objects, primarily expressing them with graphite and acrylic paint on canvas. Valenz often utilizes common household items in his artworks, such as chairs, ladders, and beds. These recognizable structures serve as a symbolic way for the artist to highlight the opportunities, growth, and dreams we all carry as individuals.

This brightly colored, unique 18 inch high by 41-inch wide artwork is wired and ready to hang. It is signed and dated by the artist on the front of the artwork. Free local Los Angeles area delivery. Affordable Continental US and global shipping are available. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included.

Regarding the subjects of his paintings, Valenzuela states: “By using elements such as chairs, ladders, beds, mono-cycles, 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.”

Valenzuela was born in Guatemala in 1970. He graduated from Universidad Galileo de Guatemala with a major in Communications. He is a graphic designer, creative director, and publicist. He is also a professor, teaching university courses on creativity, advertising, and graphic design at his alma mater.

His first group show was at the Bienal de Arte Paiz, Guatemala City, in 1992. Since that time, Valenzuela has been featured in over eighty group shows and thirty solo exhibitions in South America and around the world. He was selected as the winner of the “Young Artist” award in 2005 and granted a scholarship to study at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux Arts. His works are exhibited in the French Allegiance of Guatemala, Forma Museum of El Salvador, private collections in Guatemala, Central America, Europe, Mexico, and the United States of America.
