Artist Bio

Sebastien Frank was born in Houston, Texas in 2005. He gained an interest with the visual arts around the age of two, painting with acrylics, brushes, and an easel in his diapers. His parents took him to art museums all of the time because of this very early passion. Gaining much knowledge of the arts at a very young age, he also fell in love with murals and street art. This allowed him to explore the art of spray painting, painting on a wooden mural wall in his backyard. Sebastien has continually experimented with spray painting since this time. Sebastien has skill in aerosol works (mural painting) and illustration. Sebastien has always been an avid doodler, leading to his skill in physical and digital illustration. Sebastien’s current artworks are filled with emotion and usually colorful and flowy characters and doodles. His influences include his time outdoors. Whether in urban environments like the eclectic streets of his current home of Austin, Texas or in natural environments, his explorations outdoors often influence his artistic explorations. One example of outdoor discovery influencing Sebastien’s work is his discovery of Native American petroglyphs in the Southwest. The timelessness of human expression through doodles and linework has inspired his unique and soulful creations. Other influences include his love for music, poetry, and all forms of art. He attended various classes at the Glassell at the Museum of Fine Arts Hosuton from 2010-2015. His work appeared in the Glassell halls, and has been featured in the Houston Art Car Museum and East Austin Studio Tours. He is currently distant schooled with Oak Meadow. He was also privately mentored by local artist Billy “Briks” Jewkes in 2020 who has been a huge inspiration to Sebastien’s unique and stylized works.
