		Alterera, Sebastian
Example of work
Born in New York City in 1964, by the age of four Sebastian Alterera knew he wanted to be an artist. While as a child he developed skill at painting, drawing, and playing classical guitar, Alterera’s life was suddenly altered at age fifteen when his father died. Alterera cites this tragic event as part of the inspiration to depict the human mind and nature’s impact upon it in his art. When his family moved to San Francisco, he continued to be inspired by the mountains, ocean, and architecture of that remarkable city. Alterera later enrolled in the BFA program at the Ringling School of Art in Sarasota, Florida, where his was again influenced by sea and city alike. He continued his formal art education with a MFA degree from Savannah College of Art and Design before moving to Naples, Italy to explore the art and culture of that country. During his seven years in Italy Alterera painted, traveled, studied, and taught. When he returned to the United States, his artwork continued to evolve. While still focusing primarily on the human form, Alterera’s art has developed from a realist style to more dynamic, figurative abstracts. This remarkable art is exhibited and collected all over the country.
