Carmine Magazine: What drives you to create? Also, what inspires you and your work?
Sergio E. Redigolo Gusella: I guess everything started since I was a child, everytime I create something is like a meditation process, I enjoy bring my imagination into reality, bring all my dreams and creation into the eyes of the public, also to be able to create reality with my bear hands is one of the greatest accomplishment feelings I can ask for.
Almost Everything gives me inspiration to create art, from bad or good times, all my life experiences have thought me things that I have taken with me into my art. But I would also say that Mythology, History, science and politics are my main focus of “inspiration supply” in the last couple of years. Besides that I would say that the process of making art is also one of my biggest drives to create.

CM: Were you formally trained in art or self taught? Do you think it has helped you or hindered you?
SRG I’m major in Fine arts, but I believe that most of what I know today came with a lot of dedication and self teachings, most on which I got from books and by doing professionally. I do believe that for an artist, been original is very important and unfortunately schools do not allows too much of originality at the individual level. For technical skills, I would say that schools and books are the best way to get it, but, for been able to bring who you are into your art takes a lot of discipline and time to learn more about yourself. Unfortunately in today’s society, is really hard for an artist to find the time for that.
