ADRIAN SIERRA Y FUENTES, WAS BORN IN CARACAS, VENEZUELA. ALTHOUGH HE DIDN'T STUDY ART...HE WENT TO SCHOOL FOR ARCHITECTURE IN RIO DE JANEIRO AND MADRID, AND ART WAS ALWAYS HIS PASSION - ABSTRACT PAINTING IN PARTICULAR. HE WENT TO MOMA FOR THE FIRST TIME WHEN HE WAS 10 YEARS OLD AND THAT BECAME IMPRINTED IN HIS MIND AND WOULD INFLUENCE HIM FOR YEARS TO COME.
HE BECAME AN ARCHITECT AND ENDED MOVING TO SAN FRANCISCO WHERE HE WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO EVENTUALLY BECOME A PROJECT ARCHITECT IN THE STUDIO, ATELIER UGO SAP, WHICH ONCE AGAIN PUT HIM IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO AN INCREDIBLE ARRAY OF CONTEMPORARY PAINTINGS, SINCE ALMOST ALL OF OUR PATRONS HAD SIGNIFICANT PIECES IN THEIR WALLS, FROM ROTHKO'S, TWOMBLY'S AND MATISSE'S TO LESSER KNOWN BUT EQUALLY TALENTED ARTISTS. THIS FURTHER INSPIRED HIM TO BECOME AN ARTIST.
EVENTUALLY, HE DECIDED TO BECOME A PAINTER, AND WORKED EXCLUSIVELY IN LARGE CANVASES, AND ONLY WITH THE LIMN GALLERY IN SAN FRANCISCO. LAST YEAR, HE STARTED TO PAINT, IN A TOTALLY DIFFERENT DIRECTION, WORKING EXCLUSIVELY IN SMALL FORMATS. HE IS REALLY LOVING IT. THESE FOUR PAINTINGS, FROM WHICH THE HIGHEST BIDDER WOULD BE ABLE TO CHOOSE ONE PIECE, IS PART OF HIS NEW BODY OF WORK, WHICH CAN BE SEEN AT:
