Sebastián Espejo (b. 1990, Santiago, Chile) currently lives and works in London. Espejo’s work centres on the transience and beauty of everyday life, with the narrative of his works following everyday environments, intentionally lacking any single event. This translation of environmental experience into painting connects his work to the Chilean pictorial tradition of ‘descriptive realism,’ defined by its direct sensory capture of transient moments. Espejo sees himself as an inheritor of this tradition and its artistic philosophy.
