This feature published in La Vanguardia in 2014 documents an important stage in Sergio Aranda’s creative journey before fully dedicating himself to contemporary abstract art.
At the time, his work explored the intersection of design, craftsmanship, materials, and artistic expression. Rather than viewing creative disciplines as separate worlds, Sergio approached each project as an opportunity to investigate form, texture, composition, and emotional resonance.
Looking back, many of the ideas that define his contemporary paintings today were already present during this period: a fascination with materials, a sensitivity to texture, an appreciation for craftsmanship, and a desire to create meaningful visual experiences.
This publication is preserved as part of Sergio Aranda’s professional archive, illustrating the evolution of a creative path that ultimately led to his work as a contemporary abstract artist based in Barcelona.
Today, his artistic practice continues to explore transformation, material experimentation, memory, and the beauty of imperfection through textured mixed media paintings collected internationally.
