About

“A lifetime of spiritual and cultural influence is reflected in Moyano's work, which in turn mirrors his inner life. And like his inner life, his paintings are in constant transition. An artwork might express years of experience or a transitory emotional state. His palate for both canvases and monotypes still includes black, an essential color, but brighter and more vibrant colors dominate. Pervasive is a feeling of harmony among the elements in an individual piece and a sense of optimism in his body of work as a whole.”

Born in Cordoba, Argentina in 1934

In his primary education he was exposed to mural art that decorated the school walls and to a local philanthropist and artist, Quinquela Martin, who painted in a studio on the school grounds. For three years he studied the classical approaches to art. Following the successful completion of an entrance examination he was admitted to the National School of Fine Arts in Buenos Aires. Thereafter he completed a four year course of study at the National Academy and an additional year at the Superior School of Art in Buenos Aires.

In the late 1950’s

he began to collaborate with a group of contemporary Argentinean artists interested in “Op” art. The group moved to Paris and Sergio was able to rejoin them with student support from the French government. Aware of creative differences amongst the group, in 1960, he moved to Munich where he received a grant from the German government to study etching in the Haus der Kunst. In 1962, he returned to Paris continuing to produce paintings, etchings and woodblocks. He traveled widely in Europe including a stay at Aix en Provence and in 1964, he moved to Madrid for a period of two years.
