Sergio Verastegui
Biography
Sergio Verastegui moves fluidly across sculpture, installation, and conceptual art, transforming materials into reflections on time, memory, and impermanence. He explores the transformative potential of materials by juxtaposing industrial remnants, organic elements, and found objects, often creating works that convey fragility, impermanence, and the passage of time. His installations frequently engage with themes of decay, memory, and the human experience, prompting viewers to reflect on the transitory nature of objects, environments, and life itself. Verastegui’s process is rooted in experimentation with texture, form, and spatial relationships. By reconfiguring everyday materials into poetic and sometimes fragile constructions, he examines the tension between construction and destruction, permanence and erosion. His works invite contemplation of both the material and conceptual dimensions of reality, transforming ordinary objects into metaphors for transformation, resilience, and temporality. Through these explorations, Verastegui establishes a dialogue between the viewer and the material world, emphasizing perception, memory, and the subtle interplay between human presence and the environment. ...
