Armando Sebastian
My work is mainly inspired by life experiences, rooted in autobiographical details from my childhood and adolescence. I use media to tell stories through my art and explore questions of identity and gender. With reference to poets, music icons, and symbols amid vibrant landscapes, you’ll find yourself delving into an atmosphere of human pain and vulnerability reminiscent of the ex-voto paintings. I celebrate my Mexican heritage using bright colors inspired by folk art. I often depict themes of love and spirituality in my paintings, hoping that my work can transcend time, language, and cultural boundaries.
