After visiting the Canadian archipelago of Haida Gwaii, Sergio became fascinated with the work of the indigenous Haida peoples, finding it to be deeply spiritual: this became and remained a powerful influence in his work.Principally a printmaker, Gonzalez-Tornero had more than forty solo exhibitions in Chile, Canada, Europe, and the United States. He discussed his printmaking techniques in an essay on page 325 of Fritz Eichenberg’s The Art of the Print.Gonzalez-Tornero was awarded a fellowship by the New York State Foundation for the Arts in 1987 and a grant from the Adolph and Ester Gottlieb Foundation in 1990.
