Hernan Sosa

"I was born in Argentina but I moved with my parents to Paraguay at a very young age. One of my earliest memories is when I was a kid and enjoyed spending time drawing or copying the cartoons from comic books. I consider this as my first forays in the world of art. Since I was a shy little boy, I used to be immersed in the world of drawing and spent hours on end in this imaginary world of super heroes and villains. My dad encouraged me greatly – after all, he painted watercolors and was an avid art lover.

"When I was 18 years old I went to the Colorado Institute of Art, where I stayed for six years. Apart from having being an excellent academic experience, I met Robyn who became my wife and partner. She is American, and she was studying a degree in music at the same place. I learned about classical music through her since she is a violinist. Robyn has been my greatest supporter and if I'm in Brazil it's thanks to her. She was invited to join the Brazilian Symphonic Orchestra.

"We are happy to be in Brazil and we feel totally integrated. I've been developing my work with watercolors, focusing mainly on Brazilian themes since this culture completely fascinates me.

"I am thrilled with the opportunity Novica is offering me to present my work to the world. For some years now, I've been following Novica and their artists, whom sometimes I refer to during my research."
