Johan Sebastian

Johan Sebastian is a contemporary artist known for his evocative explorations of memory, identity, and human emotion. Born in 1987 in Malmö, Sweden, Sebastian's early fascination with visual storytelling was nurtured through frequent visits to local museums and exposure to Scandinavian landscapes, which continue to inform the atmospheric quality of his work. After receiving formal training at the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm, he began exhibiting widely across Europe, gaining recognition for his mixed-media paintings and immersive installations.

Blending elements of abstraction with figuration, Sebastian’s distinctive technique often incorporates found materials and layered textures, creating tactile surfaces that invite close inspection. His practice, influenced by both Nordic minimalism and expressive gesturalism, addresses themes of transformation and impermanence, encouraging viewers to reflect on their own memories and experiences. Johan Sebastian’s works have been featured in solo and group exhibitions throughout Sweden, Germany, and the United Kingdom, and his pieces are held in both private and public collections.

Continually challenging conventional boundaries, Sebastian remains committed to pushing the possibilities of artistic expression while fostering dialogue about contemporary social and existential questions.
