Shades Painting

Sebastian Reynal O’Connor known as TiTio was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. TiTio grew up in a beach city called Mar Del Plata and considers himself a "native" in all but birth. Coming from a family full of artists, his passion for art was always inside his heart. His mother Raquel was the first inspiration that brought art to TiTio’s life. While growing up he spent long hours in his mother’s atelier watching her painting in oil and acrylic. When he was in his early 20 he started to take art classes. He focused on sculpture until he met his teacher Connie Athens and since then he started to paint in oil, acrylics and different types of mix media. Titio’s passion for art is heavily influenced by real life situations where emotions and stories are expressed through his artwork. His unique technique to paint on canvas and wood panel showcase people, landscapes, still life and portraits from USA, Mexico, Argentina and Brazil. His paintings were exhibited in several art walks. In April 2011 he was selected by the Director of the San Diego Museum of Art (Roxana Velasquez Martinez del Campo) to exhibit his painting “Nostalgia” at the 5st International Exhibition at the Museum of Leaving Artists (San Diego Art Institute). His painting was selected among 1,000 painters around the world.
