ARMANDO SEBASTIAN

Armando Sebastian was born and raised in Monterrey, Mexico. At an early age he became interested in theater and fashion, which later evolved into his expression through narrative painting. Inspired by ancient Mesoamerican history, Sebastian weaves autobiographical details into his work within the context of his own culture with bright colors and symbols reminiscent of Mexican folk art. Themes of identity and gender and are frequently featured along with an interest in poetry, vulnerability, and the human body.

Sebastian has been exhibiting his work in the North Texas region for the past decade in venues such as the Latino Cultural Center and the Fort Worth Community Arts Center among others, as well as with galleries based in Los Angeles and New York City. Serenade will be the artist’s 6th solo exhibition. In 2017, he was recognized with the Artistic Merit Award granted by the ArtSpace111 in its Fourth Annual Regional Juried Exhibition in Fort Worth, Texas. In 2018, he was included in the juried exhibition, New Texas Talent, at Craighead Green Gallery and was a participating artist in MaricónX, a group show that traveled to multiple cities across the state of Texas. His work has been featured in publications such as the Dallas Morning News and Studio Visit Magazine. Sebastian currently lives and works in Dallas, TX.
