"Sebastjan is an artist that has undergone the charm and beauty of surrealism as represented by the illustruious masters such as Giacometti, Brancusi and Archipenko, going with his class, also beyond the lesson and heritage of the great masters. It goes without saying that his sculpture and his painting represent and express, explicitly, an incredible emotional and experiental path, where all the strenght and expressiveness of the artist appear, who puts soul, imagination and creativity into every one of his work, and it should be noted that he uses his hands cleverlyand magically, searching, in every way to establish a dialogue, a construtive, intimate, profound and visionary correspondence between his "other self" and the unpredictable and passionate viewer, who, Sebastjan Peršolja acutely renders protagonist and absolute interpreter of the scene.
