Seba Painting

Born in Santiago, Chile. Over the years, I've been inspired by faces and their ability to convey the most complex sensations that even spoken or written language can't communicate. I started painting after four years of architectural academic drawing and for the first time I encountered color as a subject itself. I believe that through the right color combination and expressions, the true identity of a subject can emerge. I work with watercolor on cotton fabric because the colors merge in a rich way that no other medium can. Slowly, my work has evolved through the experimentation of different "mistakes" that can happen using cotton fabric as canvas. Currently I use enamel to make these mistakes more visible while I "correct" them with watercolor, finding expression in unique and unpredictable results.
