Sergio Galán

Heteronyms

Sergio Galán

Madrid, 1962. Painter and sculptor. Self-taught and privileged viewer of his mother's libraries. «My grandfather never went to school and wrote his biography in a long poem, during his stay in a Francoist prison». The land that I step on every day gives me the textures and colours that I need to arrange the materials, for projects on the fabrics of memory.

«When an artist, expresses through his heteronyms, that is to say, personalities created and thought like others, alludes surely at that true emotion at a true expression of what talks Pessoa when says: feign is to know oneself.
Multiple and varied should be the motifs that motivated at Marga Ximenez, at creating his heteronyms. Parallel transits that permitted her a game that the identity prison does not permit». (Of the text “Plural like the universo”, of Nora Ancarola.)
