Bruno Sfeir

Bruno Sfeir studied at the Escuela Nacional de Bellas Artes in Montevideo - Uruguay. Later, Sfeir continued his studies with the very well-known pupils of the great master Joaquín Torres García and at the Montevideo Engraving Club. Although his painting takes up elements of constructivism from Torres Garcia’s, its proximity to the surrealist movement is even greater. In his work, intuition leads the motion, revealing in every step a peculiar iconography that avoids quick conclusions. It is a job of introspective nature that manifests itself through an inner journey. In 2000, after an untiring search that awakened an interest in ancient cultures of teaching and spirituality in the artist, he decided to move to Lebanon – the country of origin of his paternal grandfather and great promoter of his creativity – and later to the Persian Gulf, Egypt, and Morocco. This is a turning point in the life of the painter because his work is impregnated with that oriental perfume, an aroma that lingers even in his latest production. Sfeir currently lives in Spain where he continues with his prolific production.
