Transition 3 Painting

“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. I’m currently drawn to a figurative that emerges from my imagination, and moves away from realism. 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, conveying a feeling of freedom. Art is a practice in which I explore inspiration, attraction, desire and sexuality in the search for an aesthetic that, first and foremost, aims to satisfy the self.” Sebastião Paz Costa (b. 1995 in Porto, Portugal) is a young 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 northen countryside of Portugal.
