Join us as we celebrate the work of emerging Chicago artist, Sergio Farfan.
Sergio Farfan, also known as “Mystery,” was born in Lima, Peru. He is a graffpop artist that moved to the United States in order to pursue his dreams. The meaning behind his art is to creatively motivate and inspire the dreamer in all of us, the kid who comes from nothing, the teen who sees the train as a canvas, and the soul who will always stay young at heart. He views art as a method of communication, therapy, and self-expression.
He finds inspiration in the works of Piet Mondrian, Salvador Dali, Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Shepard Fairey, and Banksy. Sergio is also motivated by the beauty in urban environments. He strongly believes that graffiti is a form of art, and his passion is to influence people to view graffiti in the same light.
Sergio typically works in acrylic on wood panels and canvases. He signs every piece with a question mark. The question mark represents his motto: “Life is a Mystery.” We cannot determine what will happen in this life, and this mystery makes everyone's tale noteworthy.
He is currently majoring in Fine Art at the American Academy of Art in Chicago, and he is expected to graduate in 2018.
