Visual Artist

ALEN SEBASTIAN

I’ve been painting for eight years, and throughout this journey, art has become more than just a skill—it’s a dialogue between my inner dreamer and critic. At times, it’s a challenge to balance imagination with self-doubt, but I’ve grown to love this push and pull. It drives me to explore, refine, and express myself in ways words cannot.

This process hasn’t just deepened my understanding of color, form, and technique—it has also taught me about myself. Through every brushstroke, I uncover new perspectives, emotions, and stories. Art is my way of seeing and making sense of the world, and I’m excited to share that vision with you.

My Canvas

I specialize in oil on canvas and abstract concepts.

While I’ve explored a variety of artistic mediums, I’ve always felt most connected to traditional painting. There’s something personal and grounding about the texture, the brushwork, and the slower process it demands. It allows me to express myself in a way that feels more deliberate and honest, making each piece feel like a true extension of myself.

What’s interesting is how much easier it feels to communicate through abstract work. Without the constraints of realism, I can focus more on emotion, movement, and mood. Abstraction opens up space for both myself and the viewer to interpret freely, creating a more personal and intuitive connection.

Commissions

Two slots per month

To maintain the highest quality in my work and to ensure that each piece receives the time and attention it deserves, I open only two commission slots per month. This allows me to focus on every detail, ensuring that each artwork is a true reflection of your vision.

If you’re interested in securing a slot, I highly recommend reaching out as early as possible, as these spots tend to fill up quickly. Once the slots are booked for the month, I will place additional requests on a waitlist for the following month.

Timeline

Pricing and timeline will also depend on the difficulty of the commissioned artwork. Feel free to message me for inquiries.

From Blank Canvas to Bold Vision

Ever wondered what goes into each piece? These time-lapse videos reveal the full journey—from the first sketch to the final stroke. Watch the raw beginnings unfold into finished works as layers build, colors shift, and forms take shape. You’ll see the hesitations, the bold moves, the unexpected detours—all the quiet chaos that lives beneath the final surface. It’s messy, it’s magical, and it’s all part of the art.
