ExplorationsofColourandMovement

Explorations of Colour and Movement arise from the necessity to creating journeys where the spectator is allowed to explore elements without being fixed in. These explorations are used as a starting point by leaving one´s imagination free to contemplate the work. In this way each painting is transformed almost into an adventure in which the happenings intermingle inside the composite elements and where the simplification of the chromatic use highlights the abstract whilst also finding itself in the service of the expression of feeling.

Bio.

Matías Serra Delmar is an artist working primarily as a painter. His current work is engaged in the diverse formats of acrylic, watercolour and drawing, without leaving aside the other creative processes of sculpture, photography, video and installation. During his artistic training he developed his study into the theme of Polarities, understood as the counterposition generated by opposing dual elements. He investigates these Polarities in a pictorial level, focusing on the antagonistic concepts of light and shadow, colour and movement and fixed and non-fixed forms. Colour is the main protagonist in his works, the potency in his artistic expression.Matias Serra Delmar has a Degree Level Diploma in Sculpture from Emerson Visual Arts, Emerson College, England. He has had solo and group exhibitions in Argentina, Scotland, England and Spain. He currently works from his studio in Besalú,Catalunia.
