ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Imel Sierra was born in Barceloneta, Puerto Rico in 1967. He holds a Masters in Architecture from the University of Puerto Rico and has also studied in Madrid and Venice. Sierra has shown sculpture and installed public artworks across the world, including England, Australia, New York, Puerto Rico, Art Basel Switzerland, and more.
About his public artworks, he writes: “On the making of public art I am constantly on the search of ways to engage with the everyday user … Color, texture, sound, lighting or movement becomes as important as the place itself, and the response grows naturally from the various readings of the site.”
