“SWeb, ARTIST-MESSENGER TO THE COLORFUL UNIVERSE”

From his studio to the street or the forest, there is only one step. Sébastien, aka SWeb, exhibits his works wherever he can. On a tree trunk, a canvas, a tile, a pebble… his inspiration is limitless, for the self-taught, art is everywhere! Through series of portraits in bright colors, on the border between pop art and street art, he paints his vision of society and hopes to spread his messages.

Derrière une porte sans âme se cachent parfois de belles découvertes. L’artiste SWeb a accepté de nous recevoir dans son atelier, quartier Mozart, pour nous présenter son univers.

A peine avons-nous franchi la porte de son appartement que notre œil s’arrête sur une toile, puis une autre… un véritable musée. De l’entrée au salon en passant par la cuisine avec une fresque qui recouvre intégralement un mur, chaque recoin est imprégné de sa patte artistique. Nous parcourons le 45m² à la découverte de ce personnage haut en couleur. Une pièce entière est dédiée à la création où petits et grands formats cohabitent. On se fraie un chemin pour les admirer pendant que le Vélizien nous détaille ses procédés de fabrication.

“SWeb, ARTIST-MESSENGER TO THE COLORFUL UNIVERSE”

From his studio to the street or the forest, there is only one step. Sébastien, aka SWeb, exhibits his works wherever he can. On a tree trunk, a canvas, a tile, a pebble… his inspiration is limitless, for the self-taught, art is everywhere! Through series of portraits in bright colors, on the border between pop art and street art, he paints his vision of society and hopes to spread his messages.

Behind a door without a soul there are sometimes beautiful discoveries. The artist SWeb has agreed to welcome us in his studio, Mozart district, to present his universe. As soon as we walked through the door of her apartment, our eyes stopped on one canvas, then another… a real museum. From the entrance to the living room to the kitchen with a fresco that covers a wall, each corner is impregnated with its artistic paw. We explore the 45m² to discover this colorful character. An entire room is dedicated to creation where small and large formats coexist. We make a way to admire them while the Vélizien details its manufacturing processes.

Stimulating meetings

Quand il n’est pas dans son atelier, Sébastien laisse son imagination s’évader dans les rues ou en forêt. Alors qu’il était en train de dessiner sur un tronc d’arbre dans la forêt, son style captive l’attention d’une promeneuse. « Le bouche-à-oreille a bien fonctionné. Ouvert et sincère, SWeb se nourrit des échanges qu’il fait sur son chemin. L’une de ses œuvres de rue intitulée « Love is Life » a été repérée par le présentateur amateur d’art Nikos Aliagas qui l’a prise en photo. Celle-ci sera exposée un moi sur le parvis de la Mairie de Paris et offre une mise en lumière à l’artiste Vélizien.

An atypical route

SWeb is rather talkative when it comes to talking about his art. Yet this was not always the case. When he starts, Sébastien doesn’t say a word about it to his family or even his loved ones. No one should know. A railway worker by profession, he creates during his free time and remains discreet about his activities. While he is in charge of the maintenance of the banknote machines, the idea comes to him to recover the packaging destined to be thrown away and to transform them with an artistic dimension. He cuts them into 20 cm by 20 cm formats and starts by writing committed messages. The material handler makes about a hundred. Over the months, his production doubles, triples, quadruples, nothing stops him. Her passion no longer goes unnoticed. The artist decides to adjust her work schedules to devote more time to this activity.

A message to get across

SWeb says it wants to use art to raise awareness. Its first creations are tinged with revolutionary inscriptions. The phrase “Save Who Can Land” is written on one of his paintings. “It’s unfortunate, even 15 years after some messages are still relevant,” SWeb said. Today, the 40-year-old confesses to us that he has calmed down. A work of introspection that he put on his paintings. We now discover his work with messages of peace, love and freedom. "What is the future, dad?" , one of his latest creations puts in color the worries of the father of two children. SWeb does not position itself as lesson giver, without pretention, it brushes topical subjects in a game of assembly, collage, painting. Very often, his words are displayed alongside portraits, because for Sébastien «with one look, we can say everything».
