In her artistic work, she explores physical and psychological boundaries, with her own body taking centre stage.

His latest series, ‘Daily Bat’, integrates the iconic figure of Batman into everyday life and sheds light on themes such as the mundane and loneliness from a new perspective.

Sebastian's art has been exhibited in renowned galleries in Asia, Europe and the USA and regularly sells out. He particularly appreciates the support of his collector community, which inspires his creativity. The artist, who has been hyped by Brad Pitt, is also offering a world premiere in Zermatt.
