Markus Sebastiano

My work is heavily inspired by spaces, texture, travel, music, and the feeling a room can create. I’m drawn to the balance between raw and refined, old industrial surfaces mixed with natural materials, layered history, weathered textures, architecture, coastal influence, and contemporary interiors.

A lot of the work starts intuitively through layering, composition, and color, usually pulling from things I come across in everyday life, cities, hotels, vintage graphics, street markings, construction materials, surf culture, photography, and found ephemera. I’m less interested in creating something overly polished and more interested in creating atmosphere.

Most of my pieces are made with interiors in mind. I like when artwork feels integrated into a space, when it adds mood, warmth, texture, and energy without overpowering the room. The goal is to create work that feels collected, lived with, and naturally connected to its environment.
