"We bought a press a year ago and it's been really fun to figure it out at the studio. We are doing relief prints with wood now. Mixing the colors, cutting the paper by hand, stretching the paint and putting it on the wood plates. Everything about this process drives me crazy and I love it. I don't know a lot about printing and I'm eager to learn."
"All sides are part of me. I like humour and I also like to explore drawing seriously. I see myself very much as a fine artist. But I also don't take myself seriously, I've done collaborations with all sorts of brands that put my work on billboards or T-shirts. I'm curious so I try new things."
"Digital tools still play a huge part in Sebastian's work. It is, after all, how he's trained to work, but now it plays a larger role in documenting his work, showing the world everything that goes into these deceptively simple prints."
Sebastian has transitioned from primarily digital work to embracing physical artistic mediums. He uses acrylic paint on canvas for large-scale work, appreciating its tactile qualities, and colored pencils for smaller pieces with cross-hatching techniques. His studio recently acquired a printing press for relief printing with wood, involving hand-mixing colors, cutting paper, and applying paint to wooden plates—a process he finds both challenging and rewarding. Digital tools remain integral to his practice, primarily for documenting work and sharing the creative process. Sebastian identifies as tools-oriented, having learned 3D modeling before understanding form and color. He balances fine art aspirations with commercial collaborations, viewing art as accessible across all contexts, reflecting his journey from a non-artistic background to discovering creative expression.
