About the Artist

Sebastian Duverge was born in NYC and has lived in Louisville for most of his three decades.

A child of immigrants from the Dominican Republic, Sebastian grew up bilingual, speaking both English and Spanish. He is on the autism spectrum and does not communicate much with his words. Sebastian speaks through his artwork. He has always been surrounded by creative people, from his mother to art teachers, from mentors to his current studio team. He found his voice through art as a child and has used it to shout joyfully ever since!

Drawing is Sebastian's favorite medium. But in recent years, he has also become renowned for his vibrant mosaics, delicate paper weavings, paintings, and oil pastels.

In 2020, Sebastian started his independent business, Sebastian Duverge Studios. In 2021, he was accepted as an official Kentucky Crafted artist. He enjoys the process of creating art, from the first sketch to the last touch on his canvases. Sebastian loves bright colors, and he offers an opportunity to see the world through a fantastical lens. The happiness Sebastian's subjects bring him is contagious to anyone who experiences his work.
