Sebastien del Grosso was always interested in drawing as a child. Later, he would get into photography with the same passion. Eventually, he decided to try and combine the two artistic mediums and create a unique way of creating expressive self-portraits. "I thought that the combination of these two passions would allow me to give free rein to my imagination," he says.
Del Grosso's self-portraits combine, as you might imagine, photos and rough, sketchy lines. Sometimes, the photos are straightforward. Other times, they are digitally manipulated to include extra limbs or even extra selves. The sketchy lines are added in later, which allow del Grosso to create surreal images that, he explains, capture his emotions better than a sketch or a photo alone.
He stars in all of his work, sometimes more than once!
