Artist Statement

There are moments when music carries you to a scenery that you visualize in your mind. There are moments when a painting subconsciously evokes a melody from your heart. As a visual artist and a pianist, I strive for viewers to experience music within my art, and for listeners to perceive art within my music- that's my aspiration.

Gerry F. Segismundo


I'm a painter, illustrator, photographer, digital artist, piano player, and an excellent cook

My works are currently showing at the Ventura Government Center, The California Oil Museum, Albinger Museum, Crowne Plaza Hotel, Comunity Memorial Hospital, Ventura County Medical Center and several galleries. I also have some upcoming solo exhibitions which will focus mainly on performance, featuring dancers, musicians, and sports paintings. I still paint live every Saturday at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Ventura Harbor, or Arroyo Verde Park.

Thank you for visiting. I apologize for not being able to respond immediately to some notes, including my friends and brand new future friends, but it's been really busy and hectic - my paints are already splashing all over my floor and walls. I have to remove other paintings in the area because they end up with other colors that are off the scheme and harmony.

The comments I receive are very uplifting and inspiring, and my unending gratitude to the flickr photographers who allow me to use their photographs as photo references - keep shooting, we the painters don't have as sharp of an eye as you guys who posses the capacity to capture action and emotions at the very exact moment

    "I was disappointed with myself for not writing a testimonial for this genius of an artist friend of mine sooner.

    The art that pours out of this talented and gifted man, Gerry, has to be seen and it will speak for itself you will agree ! You will not copy this style but only be inspired by it, as it does me.

    "I am the proud owner of a few Segismundo original works. I am a big fan of the paintings and the artist himself. I have had the pleasure of seeing him work, and amazing does not begin to describe the talent. I have received so many wonderful comments on the paintings in my home. Now I give the different prints as gifts which are always well loved. These works are timeless, and I am sure someday they will be priceless."

    "Gerry's Artwork has a vibrance & vitality which is in a class all of its own. His colours sing and movement which can only be classed as dynamic. He fully understands shape & form and how light reflects off surfaces of different textures. A true art genius who's work is original and that which certainly reflects his interests in life. I think he is one of very few artists who will go down in history as one of the old masters such is the quality of his work."

    "when I have to describe the art prefer to say it in Italian language :
    ... io trovo in questo Artista una capacità e una sapienza mai viste nell’associare forme e colori. Qualunque cosa lui dipinga o tratteggi, con maestria eccezionale, diventa viva come per magia e i suoi soggetti sembrano muoversi negli incantevoli scenari in cui sono inseriti. E’ talmente bravo nella sua capacità espressiva che anche i disegni in bianco e nero sembrano possedere la vivacità del colore e il tocco della vita …
    Si spera di poter vedere altro da lui

    ... I think this artist able to associate shapes and coulors in "a never seen way". Thanks to his wonderful ability, everything he paints or sketchs, bocomes alive and his subjects seem to move in enchanting backgrounds. He is so good at expressive capacity that his black and white paintings look to have the liveliness of the coulors and the life's touch ...
    I hope to see something more of him !"
