Biography
Sergio Aranda: Art in Decay and Renewal
I’m Sergio Aranda, a Spanish artist born in 1971, shaped by life in Geneva, Paris, Madrid, and now Barcelona. My work draws from the raw beauty of timeworn surfaces—what I call "Urbex decay"—where age, erosion, and imperfection become part of the story.
As both a visual artist and jewelry designer, I’m captivated by contrasts. I often combine rust and gold—symbols of decay and refinement—to explore themes of transformation and duality. Rust speaks of impermanence and history; gold, of light and resilience. Together, they reflect my search for harmony in the tension between decline and renewal.
Influenced by the Wabi-Sabi philosophy, I embrace imperfection and natural textures. Using materials like sawdust, I create layered, earthy compositions that invite reflection on time, beauty, and change.
Through this lens, I hope to reveal how even in decay, there is elegance—and how, in every mark of age, there lies a trace of the eternal.
