“Walking on Water”

"Walking on Water" by Sergio Gomez

Sometimes it feels like I am walking on water. The “place” may be foreign yet well remembered. It is not here or there. A moment of meditation and self reflection. Thank you Petronilla for such an inviting photograph that made me just “walk on water”!

of the personal artist identity ….

…this result of that artwork ( it is just a part of a bigger work ) is the Signature of the personal identity – it includes the personal LINE as it symbolizes the legacy of the own personal life – as an artist … an essential NEED to follow that track and that line / signature …its simply irresistible…

A new write up by Dr. Gonzalez-Andrieu

virtualartist33 — Sat, 26 Jun 2010 22:54:01 +0000

If at its best A/art is an invitation to relationship, the works of Sergio Gomez are bold and complex provocations to a series of interconnected meetings. Gomez’ use of the human figure grounds his work in the depth of human concerns; his art has our shared plight of suffering, of searching, and of triumph at its center. Far from a dualism that posits a separation between body and transcendence, Gomez artful technique underscores how A/art points to the indissoluble unity of what is matter and what is spirit. In Gomez’ work the use of multiple textures, visible seams, dripping paint, vibrant colors and brushstrokes honor corporality, as his evocative figures celebrate personhood and the world in which we dwell. Yet quite seamlessly, Gomez’ works also act like modern icons opening windows and doors into the depths of Spirit, where death never has the last word and the sacred beckons.

In his passionate and passion-making art Sergio Gomez tells a community’s story, raises a cry of pain, mediates a vision of hope, and points with care and reverence toward that eternal Other whose love the very beauty of these works brings into relationship with a thankful world.

THE IMPACT OF A COMMON PLACE

petronilla hohenwarter — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 10:32:13 +0000

An experimatal process of personal identity and of making the strange into a common place - this is the comment from SERGIO and i continued this with my image below… i just saw his text + work this early morning - i ” jumped “straight into it ” – well it attracted SOMETHING IN ME – let´s say it touched my SOUL and it reconnects me to countries, cities, places, which i mainly stayed + lived in the past 20 years till now, it influences me a lot + it manifests…cultures, humans, people i met till now – i experienced a lot on my journeys internal and external… yes indeed – i am right now on a common place ” literally spoken ” so many impulses came across and this image below just appeared…no words available …just follow up…

Sergios Images are more then visual Expressions, his titles and the spirit which is so firm, lucid and his work is so clear and focused – it just ” invites ” me to integrate them into my images and it becomes a visual, philosophical, spiritual, verbal, expressive language….it is made for those – who are keen to DISCOVER , to SEE + to READ more about LIFE + the EXISTENCE of our Human Growth < our common place >

A common place

"A Common Place" by Sergio Gomez

The original photograph of this place somewhere in the mountains of Austria was uploaded to the Blog by Petronilla a few days ago. Although I have never been to Austria, I was compelled to do something with it. Almost as if I had been there in a memory or dream. It reminded me of another set of mountains I had seen in Mexico while growing up. A common place derived by two individuals in opposite sides of the world. I have borrowed the photograph and appropriated the idea of “place”. The details have been blurred and diffused. They have been made ambiguous by drawn, subtle digital lines with my fingers on a digital touch sensitive screen (ipad). An experimatal process of personal identity and of making the strange into a common place.
