In 1997, he moved to England were he continued painting and exhibiting his work, opening himself up to new cultural influences.

In his painting Sergio’s Latin American roots are apparent, reflecting the life, the pain, nostalgia and passion of the people. In many of his paintings you can find a central female figure, which for Sergio is a symbol of life. Through her face and her surroundings, Sergio expresses his observation of the world. The backgrounds in many of his paintings are magical landscapes and parts of houses, a world of lines and forms full of colors and contrasts, which he uses like language in his work.
