TeIl us what inspired this piece you submitted for SHOWDOWN ?
Serrano: Walking trough the streets of Valencia, I saw these two little girls dressed in white and playing with umbrellas under the sunlight of Valencia. I captured this wonderful image befor the sun went down and from that moment I could not stop thinking about the need of expressing the sweetness of what I saw. In fact, I automatically got up very early next morning and I went to my studio to start working on this piece of art. I love working on this stage of life which I consider to be pure and clean. When I completed this piece, it was one of the happiest and more satisfying moments that I have ever had in my life.
Niñas valencianas con sombrilla. Acrylic on canvas. 120x80x4cm
What would you call your style?
Serrano: Serranonism which is made of a complex recipe: neo-impressionism + modified abstract expressionism both of them using acrylic paint and letting most water to evaporate at the beginning.
Who is your favorite artist?
Serrano: Lisa Yuskayage is my favorite artist. I love many of her pieces as Travelers from 2008 and Lurid and luscious… Wilderness from 2009. I love the way she express herself to show the sweet part of this life as I also try to do. I adore the colour harmony thaf she applies on her pieces.
