He came nervous and excited and in the end he has crowned the dream he had had for 30 years. The Spanish

Sergio López-Rivera

has won the

Oscar for best makeup and hairdressing

for his brilliant work in

La madre del blues

, more specifically for his way of transforming

Viola Davis,

who gives life to the singer

Ma Rainey

in the production of Netflix.

López-Rivera,

born in Seville,

raised in Santander since he was three years old and emigrated to Los Angeles since he was 19, took the character of the singer so to the limit that he even reproduced the beads of sweat of the blues interpreter, a complex woman of A tough character who sweated profusely and with a gold tooth, a role for which Davis herself aspires to an Oscar for best actress.

The Spanish make-up artist went up to receive the award visibly excited but

did not utter a single word.

He competed in the same category with Emma, ​​Hillbilly Elegy, Mank, and Pinocchio.

They have been very special and hectic days for the Cantabrian, who confessed in interviews with Spanish media that they have bombarded him with calls these days, which made him think about the past, about his desire to be in Los Angeles and dream of working with the better, with the ambition of a golden statuette in the background.

López-Rivera says that Davis called him upon receiving the role with

the challenge of recreating a woman photographed only seven times throughout her life.

They discovered that, in addition to the constant sweat and the golden tooth, she was a fat woman and the ugliest in the industry.

Challenge more than overcome and crowned with an Oscar.
