Dali II Painting

Who am I? What am I? Why do I do it? My name is Sebastian Ferreira. I was born in Caracas, Venezuela and raised in both Miami/Memphis. I am currently based out of Edgewater, NJ. Currently I am focused on an amalgam of abstract calligraphy and pop art. I try to create intense portraiture with my love of graffiti and lettering. I am a passionate artist who likes to incite and provoke feeling from people who view my work. My work isn’t only about how it makes me feel, its about how it makes you feel. Many times you love a particular piece and can’t readily explain why. It’s just a feeling. Painting, for me, has been a long, happy, confusing, and at times, emotionally arduous journey. In the past, I was my biggest obstacle. Lester Johnson once said “It is as though I had fought my way out from behind my own personality, and was able at last to expand and express myself in a completely fresh way…”. Creating something out of nothing is the greatest fulfillment as an artist. It serves as my fuel to continue exploring. I am influenced by love, hate, music, politics, happiness, tragedy, beauty, nature, and the list goes on. Every painting I create is an opportunity to learn, to grow, and to understand who i am. They all add to my journey and I welcome you to be a part of it.
