Sebastian Bach Painting

I was born in Moscow, Russia. Studied at from MOSCOW STATE UNIVERSITY OF ART OF S.G. STROGANOV (MGHPU). The member of the Artists Trade Union of Russia. There are two main themes in my work: portraits of rock musicians and the cityscape. I love rock music since childhood, bands like KISS, Gans 'N' Roses, Cinderella, Aerosmith, Ozzy, etc. And when in 2011 the "Cinderella" band came to Moscow, I saw the show and was charmed by the live performance of Tom Keifer. We all know about sublimation in art and I wanted to put all my enspiration, feelings and his music in his portrait. Now the Internet gives us the opportunity to meet all the people we want, and thanks to this I was able to presentation Tom his portrait, give him a reproduction, and get autographs. This event gave rise to the musical theme in my art and I painted many portraits of musicians and people who enspiration for me. Some portraits I was able to show to my models and get autographs on reproductions. The second theme in my art: Urban landscape. The city is a very important for me. I am a native city dweller and I am worried about everything that surrounds me. I really like to observe how new buildings, structures and other structures contact, contrast and penetrate into the old city, which has been formed for centuries. How the old city stratifies, changes and continues to live in the present. Sometimes, when thinking about this theme, I add some surreal details. I am like to remember about the time when I was born, the time of my childhood and adolescence, and the attributes of that period. It's very important theme for memories and for rethinking in my work. Also, I really like to travel with a painter's case and paints. The plein air is an integral page of my life.
