Sergio rivera Martínez - Hombre medicina Crow

Realist portrait with expressionist nuances of a Native American Crow man.
This is painted on a wooden board for greater expressiveness, using the textures and grain of the wood; the technique is mixed, ranging from oil to spray.
Painted out of love for Native American culture, their attitudes, their way of life.
Interest in the roots of the American continent, history, spirituality or natural conception of life, shamanism, rituals.

I am Sergio Rivera Martínez, an artist from Madrid. It could be said that I have been painting since I was born.

Art comes into my life naturally; my grandparents and mother were artisans and artists who work wood, tapestries, ceramics, and of course painting.

All the memories I have are associated with painting… At home, at my grandparents’ house, birthday and Christmas gifts that are sets of paints, while I watched my favorite cartoons I painted. I painted so much that when I left the house I did too, and that’s how I began to experiment with graffiti in my early adolescence until today, becoming part of the history book of graffiti in Majadahonda.

Currently I work on canvases with meticulous realism in every detail or any expression. I focus the subjects of my work mainly on nostalgia, retro or/and classical.
