Sergio Lazo

Artist Statement:

Music is the main source of inspiration; particularly the guitar. It's an instrument that has always caught my attention. In its various forms and strong personality I found the perfect model. 

In all my work you can see vivid colors and contrasts, and I always like to make sure to maintain visual harmony. 

The guitars and characters in each of my pieces reflect emotions in different situations. In my work I have found a way to bring together my two passions, painting and love for music.

Education:

Sergio Lazo was born in 1970 in Venezuela. Residing in South Florida since 1994. He studied Graphic Design in Caracas. 

Combining his interest in music and visual arts he developed a style where most of the time you can appreciate presence of musical themes. The guitar is one of his sources of inspiration and practically his trademark.

He has been developing his artistic skills and talents since early childhood and considers himself as a self-taught artist. 

His work can be found in private collections throughout the United States and has gone to expand internationally.
