Artist Biography
Sergio Vargas was born in Santiago, Chile, in 1937. He entered into the world of artistic expressiveness in his youth through the natural and creative development of a self-taught painter.
The Impressionist movement in his work captures more intensity with his resolute approach of light, shadow, and color - bordering the abstract.
His landscapes gifted of atmosphere and style grants him a path of his own. The manifest lyricism in his work highlights the beauty of nature and it is depicted in the four-decade journey of Vargas’s artistic activity.
