📌 As we approach the end of 2025 and step into 2026, I’ve been reflecting on the word I want to bring with me into the new year: sustainability.

In 2025, I faced a heavy schedule: two curatorial projects in Chicago, projects in my Florida gallery, expanding to a second location, working longer hours, taking on large commissions, and health family issues. All of this created a pressure cooker environment that brought me close to burnout.

Thankfully, I recognized the warning signs and made necessary changes to keep myself balanced.

This experience reminded me the importance of sustainability—not just in avoiding burnout, but in building a sustainable career that thrives over time. It’s about creating a steady, intentional path that balances creativity and business increasing demands of our art career.

As we move into 2026, let’s prioritize sustainability in every aspect of our art journey: from financial stability to creative focus and mental well-being. It’s not about doing more; it’s about doing what’s meaningful and sustainable.

If you’re passionate about planning ahead and making lasting impact like me, let’s make sustainability our guiding principle in 2026. Together, we can build a thriving, balanced art career.

I’d love to hear from you! What steps are you taking in 2026 to make your art practice more sustainable? Share in the comments one habit or approach you’re planning to embrace for a more balanced, thriving year.

Let’s make 2026 our best and most sustainable year yet!

As the year comes to an end, it’s a good moment to pause and ask an important question: What do artists really want?

About eight years ago, I helped run a global survey asking artists this exact question. Artists from different countries, ages, and career stages responded—and the answers were surprisingly consistent.

Artists want freedom to create without being boxed in by trends or expectations.

They want respect from their peers, to be seen and valued within the community.

They want real opportunities to share and show their work.

And they want a sustainable career, not fame or fortune, but stability and continuity.

Here’s where I want to challenge something many of us believe.

We often think the answer is more: more art, more marketing, more posting, more hustle. But more doesn’t automatically mean better. And it definitely doesn’t guarantee success.

What actually moves the needle is strategy.

Strategy means clarity. Intention. Knowing why you’re doing something—not just copying what others are doing. Strategy always beats doing more without direction.

As we step into a new year, my encouragement is this: don’t just do more. Do what’s aligned.

I’d love to hear from you—does this resonate? Do you agree that strategy matters more than “more”? Drop your thoughts in the comments.

Today marks the beginning of a long-term, legacy body of work I have been holding and shaping for years.

Wings of Becoming: 1000 Studies in Transformation is a multi-year project exploring transformation as a lived, ongoing process. Rooted in the symbolism of the monarch butterfly and its migration from Canada through the United States to Mexico, the work reflects themes of movement, endurance, memory, and return—cycles that have deeply informed my practice.

Over time, this project will unfold as one thousand hand-painted butterflies, each created on wood and cut to the silhouette of a monarch. While unified in form, every piece is unique. Some are vibrant and resilient; others bear signs of stress, fragility, or erosion. Together, they speak to becoming not as a destination, but as a continuous state shaped by experience.

Each butterfly is signed, numbered in the order it is created, and dated on the back. There are no titles—only a quiet record of time as the work progresses.

The first set of twelve establishes the foundation of this project. These works mark the beginning of a journey that will continue to evolve over the coming years.

📌 Some years leave you with trophies… and some leave you with bruises. This year gave me a bit of both.

As we move toward the new year, I’ve been taking a quiet moment to look back—really look back—at what 2025 held for me as an artist, curator, and gallery owner.

Before I start planning for 2026, I’m asking myself three grounding questions. They’re simple, but they keep me honest:

1. What did I win this year?
For me, that includes opening @33contemporary at the Promenade in Coconut Creek, launching new projects, and painting pieces that pushed my own boundaries. These were the moments that reminded me why I do what I do.

2. What did I lose?
Not everything went the way I hoped. Some ideas didn’t get the traction I wanted, lost time moving around, and there were doors I expected to open that stayed shut. These losses sting, but they’re teachers too.

3. What am I taking with me into the new year?
For me: clarity, resilience, and a renewed commitment to creating work rooted in purpose, and community.

Reflection isn’t about dwelling on the past—it’s about entering the new season aligned to what matters most to you and nobody else.

If you’re planning your new year already, take a moment to look back. Your wins and losses both speak.

Please take a moment to share your thought and comments below. Would love to read them. Cheers to a great 2026!

📌 Let’s talk about opportunities. Over the years, I’ve noticed that artists fall into three categories when it comes to finding them.

First, there are artists who feel like opportunities just don’t exist for them. They might be dealing with past disappointments or feel like the art world is against them. This mindset of scarcity can really hold them back.

Second, there are artists who refuse to wait for opportunities. Instead of sitting back and complaining, they go out and create their own chances. They might organize their own shows, host pop-ups, or sell their work directly. These are the go-getters who take control of their destiny.

And then there’s the third type of artist—what I like to call the Opportunity Maker. These artists not only create opportunities for themselves but also for others. They bring fellow artists into the fold, collaborate, and build a community of support. It’s about moving from “me” to “we,” and creating a bigger impact together.

I’ve been through all these stages myself. At first, I felt like opportunities were scarce. Then I started creating them for myself. And eventually, I began to foster opportunities for others as well.

So, my question for you is: which kind of artist are you? Are you waiting for the world to hand you opportunities, are you creating them yourself, or are you making them for everyone around you?

Let’s keep this conversation going and inspired.

😝So, here’s the thing: from the outside, it might look like I have everything perfectly organized. Between curating shows, creating art, and running coaching programs, it can seem like I have it all together. But the truth? I’m pretty easily distracted. Just ask my kids or my wife! My mind can wander off in a heartbeat. One minute I’m deep in conversation, and the next, I’m thinking about something entirely different.

But you know what? I’ve learned to embrace that. Instead of seeing it as a hindrance, I treat it like a superpower. It means I’m always juggling multiple things, and that keeps me energized and creative.

People often ask, “Why don’t you just focus on one thing?” And honestly, I can’t. My brain thrives on variety. That’s how I function best.

Now, here’s something crucial I’ve learned over the years: despite the distractions, one of the key ingredients to my productivity is making sure I get enough sleep. I aim for at least seven hours a night, and that consistency is what keeps me sharp and able to handle everything.

So, if you’re feeling distracted, don’t beat yourself up. Instead, focus on the basics: rest well. It makes a world of difference. When you’re well-rested, your mind can handle those distractions, and you’ll still get things done.

So, let’s prioritize sleep. Say no to that extra Netflix episode, and give your brain the rest it deserves. Trust me, it’s a game-changer.

How do you handle distractions? I would love to hear.

🥰 Please share, like and save and help me spread positivity in the art world.

I appreciate you!

The other day an artist in my coaching program asked me, “Sergio, how do you prioritize your week?”
And honestly… it made me smile because for years I asked myself the same thing.

What I’ve learned is this: every week, we’re really juggling three kinds of tasks. And when I finally understood that, everything started to make more sense.

First, the tasks we enjoy.
The good stuff. The studio time, getting lost in the work, experimenting, making a mess, dreaming. These are the things that remind us why we do what we do.

Second, the tasks we need to do.
Not always fun, but necessary. Emailing, organizing, updating your website, shipping artwork, marketing… all the things that keep the wheels turning. I don’t always love them, but they matter.

And third, the tasks that build the future.
These usually don’t feel urgent, but they’re the ones that change the game long-term—applying for opportunities, building relationships, planning ahead, refining your portfolio. These are the seeds that grow later.

Once I separated my week into these three buckets, everything felt less chaotic. I wasn’t expecting one day to hold everything. And I stopped beating myself up for not “doing it all” every day.

If you want to try this yourself, just make three lists:
Enjoyable. Necessary. Future.
And then simply move the needle a little in each one.

This is how we stay energized and organized and build success… without losing the joy of making art.

How do you organize your week? Share your strategy.

Follow for more. Like and share with kindness. I appreciate you.

Q: Have you ever felt crushed by the art world? It’s a familiar feeling: a gallery that drops your work, a grant that slips away, a client who cancels, or a rejection that stings. It’s easy to feel disheartened when the art world measures success by numbers, trends, and external validation.

But as artists, we are vessel makers. Every piece of art we create is infused with meaning, emotion, and intention. Even when the outside world doesn’t see it, your art carries something profound. It touches lives, inspires conversations, and evokes emotions that go beyond what the market can measure.

As a gallery owner for over 20 years, I’ve witnessed the profound impact of art firsthand. I’ve seen people moved to tears in front of a painting, I’ve seen laughter, deep conversations, and the spark of inspiration that art ignites. I’ve seen people say, “I must have this,” or return again and again, drawn by the depth and beauty of what they see.

Your art is that vessel. It carries emotions, ideas, and stories that resonate deeply with others. Even if the market doesn’t always recognize that, never forget the impact you have.

So, if you’re feeling down today, remember that your art is a vessel of meaning. Keep creating, keep filling those vessels, because the world needs what you bring to it.

What’s in your vessel today? Share below…

Please like, save and share to help more artists. Appreciate you :). Sergio
