Sergio Hernandez
There are no theories behind my work, only the desire to understand the world through sculpture, a medium with which I have a natural relationship.
In my work I constantly recognise the experimentation with materials and techniques. this being the principal theme. The issues that interest me (universal, political, social, personal) are transitory and are the starting point in the search for an answer to explain the world.
