An artist and his dreamy world

• Text by Luca Lo Pinto

Seboo, when compared to many artists, has a wonderful gift. His work and his persona are both very special, personal and not separable. When you look at his paintings, charcoal drawings, sculptures, you immediately lose yourself in them, swept along by an inner visionary force. The world of Seboo is inhabited by strange characters and landscapes on which each of us could project something personal.
