    Career

    Sebastián Canovas obtained his Bachelor's degree in Industrial Design from Universidad Anahuac in Mexico City. He started his career as a furniture designer in his father's family business, Galerías D'Canovas. Some customers, who saw his early work, suggested he become a full-time painter.

    Sebastián has worked in various techniques, particularly watercolor.

    Sebastián has had two distinct periods:

  • A more classical stage, wherein he specialized in realistic watercolors that denote the contrast between transparency and opacity. The subject matter captures the majestic Mexican countryside: beautiful landscapes and quaint towns with their native inhabitants.
  • His current lyrical, spontaneous, evocative and deeply personal phase, in which the artist focuses on abstract depictions of moods, feelings and emotions, transgressing forms and colors, with veiled images filled with incognitos and conjecture. His most recent work is characterized by the use of mixed techniques and collage, experimenting with color, contrast, objects, pigments and textures that capture the audience's imagination.
