Artist: Sebastian Eriksson
Born in Sweden, 19 year old Sebastian Eriksson is a surreal artist. He first started with realistic portraits, but came across a painting by Rene Magritte and became “fascinated with the concepts behind the visuals,” and has been “trying to expand his subconsciousness.” For the past two years, Eriksson delved into the world of macabre art using charcoal and pastel to highlight the depth and darkness within his works. Recently however, he has started experimenting more with watercolor, oil and acrylic paint. He has become quite accomplished as an artist; his works have been in exhibitions and used as album covers. He describes his love for art as his life and his way of survival- to pay rent (something we can all relate to, but how great is it that this artist can use his happiness to live in this monetary world?)
