Sergio Valdes Diazvelez The Marengo Collection presents Abstract Passion, an exhibition of work by Sergio Diazvelez, Kenneth Goldman, Patty Grau, Luz Mack-Durini, and Robert Moore. The focus is abstraction - wood sculpture by Goldman and Grau, glass wall pieces by... Mack-Durini, metal sculpture by Moore, and acrylic and watercolor paintings on paper by Diazvelez.

This exhibition deals with texture, the play of light on surfaces, shifting planes, undulating forms, subtle references, and the artists' passion for their chosen medium.

Sergio Diazvelez shows his most recent series of abstractions entitled "Relieves Magicos" (Magical reliefs), created by the application of watercolors and acrylics in a broad color palette onto an uneven, creased paper surface. In this work, Diazvelez fuses surrealist and abstract expressionist concepts. At once two and three dimensional, Diazvelez believes this approach affords limitless possibilities for creativity. His background includes art studies at the famous Academia de San Carlos and the prestigious academy Liceo de las Artes
