Emotional Painting

Sebastião Paz Costa (b. 1995 in Porto, Portugal) is an artist working with Painting and Drawing. He received his BFA in 2019 in Multimedia at FBAUP. He currently resides and has his studio in the Northern Countryside of Portugal. “My work is a continuous experimentation between the figurative and the abstract. Themes such as the body, nature, color and the erotic have been persistent interests over time. More than following a strict logic, the experience of making the work is driven by curiosity and potentiality. I feel like my images invite the viewer to experience my subconscious, connecting to a feeling of freedom. Art is a practice in which I explore inspiration, attraction, desire and sexuality in the search for a work that, first and foremost, aims to satisfy the self.”
