About Sebastian Merk

Like a musician or composer I express intense emotion. I compose with an explosive use of colour and my dynamic abstract works are based on the idea of freedom and a response to life's stories and experiences.

I primarily work in acrylic, acrylic-inks and blacklight UV-reactive paints, using palette knives, brushes and my own hands. Switching between visible and UV light, my work reveals unseen worlds beyond the realm of everyday perception. Each painting is an own world itself where the viewer gets captured. The movement on the canvas is very dominant and catches the eyes so that the viewer can escape reality for a moment.

My work is exhibited internationally and collected in 14 different countries such as England, USA, China, United Arab Emirates,... .
