Hacia origen

About

Creator of an intensely personal body of work, Serrano's colourful, figurative and narrative painting moves beyond the quotidian, around the idea of the journey as a spiritual and creative process

The title of the show refers to the search for that which sets the artist’s universe in motion; that first image, that first element, first space, first impulse or that brushstroke. The artist defines this Origin as a specific place to which we can transport ourselves to, and in each painting there are gaps, holes or windows showing us that other place: a mineral threshold towards Origin that creates a mystic radiant centre. The work becomes a trans-dimensional portal that takes us to that other landscape among the stars.

Hacia origen is the artist’s first exhibition at Espacio Alexandra where he features primarily works on paper in different media, such as oil, graphite or watercolour. Mineral stones floating in outer space, macaws, crocodiles in a starred lake, or fire caves  are some of the creatures and places we can find in Serrano’s echosystem
