Works and Style
As a representative of the Geração 80, Sérgio Sister revisits the interaction between surface and three-dimensionality. His work is characterized by the layering of colors, allowing different color fields to coexist harmoniously while maintaining their autonomy.

In 2009, Sister began creating the Caixas series, paintings on wooden crates similar to fruit boxes found at fairs. Measuring 38 x 32 cm, these works synthesize the artist's motivations: luminosity, function, and affection. The Caixas series led to other works, such as Ripas (2009-), Pontaletes (2010-), and Tijolinhos (2013-).

Collections
Sérgio Sister's works are part of important collections, including:

Sister's works, when hung on gallery walls, seem to belong to this world yet also outside of it, as small poetic gestures that reveal a simple happiness hidden in everyday life.
