EXHIBITION SUMMARY:

The Journey, by Sergio Borja, is my first solo exhibition and a reflection on my journey in Australia for the past few years. It represents happiness and sadness, things I enjoyed and felt happy with, and the suffering that struck me the most while away from family and friends during the Covid Pandemic.

In honour of my late mother, Mercedes Borja, I have paid tribute to her with art pieces as she passed away two years ago. While she is not with us to see for herself, I know she would be so happy for me and be watching from above.

The creations for this exhibition are exceptional and emotionally appealing, with great texture, detail, and vivid colours produced using the experimentation of brush strokes and materials that make a rich story through the artistic element of texture and surfaces. As an artist, this collection sincerely submerged me in its creation.
