Seba
I was born in Slovenia (1980), have no formal art education. My knowledge is developed by intense everyday art work and alternative traveling life style. I have more than 20 years of art creating experience. My life is dedicated to practice alternative art and my long term goal is to make a plan how to paint a "soul portrait" or Soultret.
In the beginning of my art path the only mentor I ever had is Branko Šuster, my art teacher from primary school. He is the reason that I didn't quit my art mission in the beginning. He was my only art critic and I often showed him my work and he give me the official point of view.
He shoved me what to avoid and how to be consistent in art techniques, specially if I mix them.I will always respect that! I have a lot of practical experience with different art techniques and I'm a quick learner if the job I do is art related. I work with all available materials and paints, from body painting, mask making, to canvas painting with, acrylic, oil, and airbrush painting on wood, metal, paper, wall and tattooing human skin. I have also basic welding knowledge for making metal sculptures using recycled metal.
The surrealistic motives that I paint are full of hidden symbols and many of them have written explanation in poetry writing. My work expresses surrealistic sorrow, absurd nonsense of present world and people, who each and every day follow the paths of greed and groveling before everything what is secret, but in essence just plain stupid...
Now I'm traveling and surviving as "nomad" artist with free hart and crazy new ideas and projects.
By the prospect of present-day panorama, everybody has its own explanation what good and evil is! Only rare people will strip off heavy dress of egoism, and once they are naked, they can admit how cruel the frozen wind of human action is against other people and nature,...
We rather live in a bubble of comfort and float over the thorns of reality! I try to paint the critical point of view of today morality and disappearing compassion.
Art shouldn't deny this feelings by hiding itself behind a pallet of sweet colors and censored thoughts. It is hard to wake up from the sugar- plastic surrounding, because people do not like the truth if include thinking... Alone I paint what I see and feel, I am not a pessimist, I have only learned how to look the world in alternative way! I hope that my work will give you a different thought on a different world in a different way.
"Fortis est qui se vincit" - strong is the one, who defeat himself.
I try to live by this quote, specially in the world where artist self-glorification is more important than artist work. So please judge me by my work and not my thoughts :)
