Sebbastião Xant masters classical techniques thanks to his training at the Brazilian Society of Fine Arts (SBBA) and mentorship from masters like Chisnandes and Jaime Sampaio. His classical works reveal a deep respect for human anatomy, proportion, and chiaroscuro, with Renaissance and Baroque influences. Xant reinterprets these traditional foundations with contemporary touches—loose brushstrokes or textured backgrounds—maintaining a dialogue between past and present.
SURRREALISM
Surrealism Surrealism is the soul of Xant’s art. Under the guidance of Professor Carte Agno, he developed a style that transcends convention, diving into dreamlike universes. His surrealist works are inhabited by hybrid creatures—flowers with eyes, trees twisting into cosmic spirals, and human figures fused with Brazilian fauna. Intense colors and abrupt contrasts amplify the sense of mystery, inviting viewers to decipher hidden narratives.

FIGURATIVE ABSTRACT
In this style, Xant balances the freedom of abstraction with hints of recognizable figures. Human silhouettes emerge from chaotic backgrounds, animal contours dissolve into geometric patterns, and landscapes are reduced to essential forms. It is a dance between the concrete and the imaginary, where the viewer is challenged to complete the narrative with their own interpretation.

STILL LIFE
Revitalizing a traditional genre, Xant infuses still life with tropical exuberance. Fruits like mangoes, passionfruit, and cashews are rendered in hyper-realistic, almost tactile colors, while everyday objects—ceramic vases or antique tools—come alive through dramatic shadows and unconventional compositions. His still lifes are tributes to Brazilian material culture.
ARTISTIC NUDE
Xant’s nudes celebrate the organic beauty of the human body with a poetic approach. Figures are depicted in fluid poses, often integrated with natural elements—foliage wrapping around curves or water reflecting silhouettes. A warm palette (terracotta, ochre, and carmine tones) and soft brushstrokes convey sensuality without vulgarity, emphasizing the connection between body and nature.
IMPRESSIONISM
Inspired by Brazil’s unique light, Xant adapts Impressionism to his tropical vision. His landscapes capture sunlight filtering through forests, river reflections in motion, and the vibrancy of flowers under rain. With quick brushstrokes and layered colors, he conveys the fleetingness of the moment, as if each work were a snapshot of a perfect day in the savannah or rainforest.
