Sergio Hernández Animal Prints

Sergio Hernández was born in 1957 in the town of Santa María Xochixtlapilco, located near Huajuapan de León, in the Sierra Mixteca. He studied at the National School of Plastic Arts (1973–1974) and at the National School of Painting, Sculpture and Engraving “La Esmeralda” (1975–1981) in Mexico City. Later, circa 1987, he moved to Europe, where he started in graphics within Peter Bramsen's Parisian workshop. Since then, his artistic production has been very varied and complete since he has ventured into different areas of plastic such as engraving, sculpture, ceramics and, of course, painting and drawing, becoming one of the most outstanding artists of Mexico today. His work is included in the permanent collections of museums such as the Modern Art Museum of Mexico City, the Monterrey Museum, the Institute of Graphic Arts of Oaxaca, the Museum of Contemporary Art of Aguascalienes, the San Antonio Museum of Art and the Museum Würth Künzelau from Germany, among others. Since the 80’s, Sergio Hernández has had a large number of individual exhibitions, both national and international.
