AdrianSierraGarcia

AdriansSierraGarcia is part of those persons who we say to be a character, of those for whom it is difficult to separate his work from his personality. Sometimes architect, sometimes artist, he knows how to transform space, volume and perception with this implicit desire to introduce an element of dream, and to include each and everyone’s participation. Although polyglot (English, Spanish, French, Italian), he choses to express himself in the universal language of light, at the visual crossroads, palpable and sensitive; his works embody his willingness to reach and touch each and everyone of us, incorporating the progression of his era, resolutely turned towards a more demanding technology and immediacy.” -Frédéric Dayan, Critique d’Art, Paris

PREFACE

Adrian Sierra Garcia, artist/designer, architect living and working between Los Angeles and Paris, designs and builds ephemeral environments that celebrate and inspire the spirit of peace and community, using universal element of light to bring people together. His artworks integrate technology into daily life; they aim to question the role of public space and urban art, as vectors for interpersonal communication.

Close to the general public, citizens and grassroots movements, human art activist, social ties articulator, Adrian Sierra Garcia actively participates on initiatives promoted by local and international artists and collectives (OÏDEM, Millenium Art, Justin Young, Dan Das Mann, VJ Fader, Majida Khattari, Karine Sapporta, Art en Action, Le 6B, Dimanche Rouge, La Générale). These collaborations regularly give life to innovative projects with mobility founded on freedom of expression and economy of means.

In Europe, Adrian Sierra Garcia’s pieces have particularly been selected for innovation and contemporary art festivals Futur en Seine 2012, La Nuit Blanche 2010 and 2012 in Paris, Mapping Festival 2012 in Geneva and for the ephemeral city in the desert, Burning Man 2014 and 2015 in the United States.
