Contemporary artist and muralist Sebas Velasco was born in 1988 in Burgos, a city in northern Spain. His disciplined romance with painting continues to produce nighttime scenes of the urban every day, mysterious, gloomy, but not necessarily forlorn. Large-scale scenes incorporate elements of the surrounding architecture and marginal cityscape, his canvasses are painterly, blurred, and focused on the emotional, and psychological trajectory of a life lived alongside the wreckage of a city, often solitary figures seeking adventure in gritty, industrial scenes.

Velasco often uses a combination of spray paint and acrylic paint to create his murals and canvas paintings, sometimes incorporating stenciling and other forms of street art into his work, a unique blend of traditional and contemporary techniques.

Today we pass along the news that Sebas is offering two of his nighttime reveries as prints for a short time and at more affordable prices than his other work demands today. Named after favorite songs by bands in Yugoslavia and Poland, the two prints capture this moment in his career, this time of unsettling transitions, insecure daily existence where it seems that anything is possible, and chaos is probable.

“Titles for the work often draw from song titles, Kao da je Bilo Nekad (As it was once before) was named after a song from EKV; a Serbian and former Yugoslav rock band from Belgrade
and Kalejdoskop Moich Dróg (Kaleidoscope of my ways) is from a Polish Reggae band called Daab. This fusion in the margins almost feels like spring, stolen moments that can be shared – in lingering romantic brush strokes. If you are interested, we included a link below to learn more.

From the press release, “Compositions are collaged from his own photography to create impossible yet familiar vistas, his brutal constructions become stoic remnants of a memory lost to time.”
