  • My Studio Between Barcelona and the Countryside

    My Studio Between Barcelona and the Countryside

    I divide my creative time between two very different spaces, each influencing my work in its own way. Most of my painting tutorials are recorded at home in Barcelona, in an intimate room filled with textures, papers, tools, pigments, and works in progress. It is a quiet and personal space where experimentation happens freely, often surrounded by fragments of old books, Japanese papers, threads, music, and weathered materials waiting to become part of a painting. Alongside this home studio, I also work several days each week in my atelier located in the countryside, around 25 km south of Barcelona. The atmosphere there is completely different — slower, more silent, more connected to space, light, and time. It allows me to work on larger contemporary abstract paintings and textured mixed media pieces with greater freedom and immersion. Both places nourish my artistic process in complementary ways. One is intimate and immediate. The other is contemplative and expansive. Together they form the emotional landscape behind my contemporary abstract artworks, textured surfaces, and mixed media paintings inspired by erosion, architecture, silence, and transformation.

    Between Texture and Silence | Contemporary Abstract Artist in Barcelona

    Between Texture and Silence | Contemporary Abstract Artist in Barcelona

    Working slowly between texture, erosion, geometry, and intuition, Sergio Aranda develops contemporary abstract paintings inspired by weathered surfaces, Japanese aesthetics, architectural forms, and the poetry of imperfection. This studio moment captures part of his creative process in Barcelona, where layers of acrylic paint, collage, raw materials, and textured surfaces evolve through experimentation and transformation. His work combines contemporary mixed media abstraction with minimalist composition, creating artworks that feel both tactile and atmospheric. Influenced by wabi-sabi philosophy, industrial textures, urban walls, and fragments altered by time, his paintings explore silence, memory, fragility, and material presence. Collectors across Europe and the United States are particularly drawn to his textured abstract artworks for modern interiors, architectural spaces, boutique hotels, and contemporary collections seeking depth, authenticity, and emotional resonance. Each original artwork is created by hand in his Barcelona studio.

    Somni d'Estruc

    Somni d'Estruc

    This work explores the intersection between architectural ornament and contemporary abstraction. Fragments of engraved patterns emerge from the surface, recalling decorative motifs found in historic architecture, while the surrounding textures appear worn, layered, and partially erased. The painting unfolds through contrasts: dense dark material below, a lighter, weathered field above, and delicate ornamental traces suspended between them. By merging the language of architectural pattern with contemporary material abstraction, the work creates a tension between structure and erosion. Ornament is no longer purely decorative; it becomes a fragment, a memory embedded within the surface. Through this dialogue between order and decay, the painting develops a distinctive visual language where historical references and contemporary sensibility coexist.

    Celestial Corridor - Mixed media on canvas

    Celestial Corridor - Mixed media on canvas

    New Painting (40x40cm) – Celestial Corridor Description: Celestial Corridor is a minimalist composition in black and white, subtly corroded by time. Accents of rust and geometric shapes create striking contrasts, evoking a sense of decay, structure, and quiet intensity. This mixed media work reflects the passage of time through texture and restraint. Explore more details and purchase options on my website. Worldwide shipping available.
