塞巴斯亚诺·纳瓦拉毕业于米兰美术学院，毕业后在广告界担任创意总监数十年，获奖众多。在艺术作品中，他着力探讨“魅力之美”的概念，将艺术、创意和营销融为一体。目前的作品是他第二阶段艺术研究的产物，源于意大利文化，并反映出他对艺术史各个阶段的热爱。

我在此展出的作品，与形而上世界有关，在封城后神秘而空旷的广场上，物品成为这座荒凉城市的主角。我想用艺术让人停下脚步、思考和感受这个烦恼不断的世界。我用艺术创作向封城后的故乡米兰和米兰人致敬。
我的艺术理念与波普艺术息息相关，
根源是文艺复兴大师和形而上艺术。
“以戏谑的手法使用过去。”
融合街头流行文化、现代平面设计和漫画，
持续不断地探索“新事物”。

独立映像：在你的艺术生涯中有哪些重要的节点？
塞巴斯蒂亚诺·纳瓦拉：
重要节点：
从著名的米兰布雷拉美术学院毕业，获得艺术硕士学位。

抵达哥伦比亚：
*在哥伦比亚获得一个艺术奖项，与艺术家J.Walter Thompson一起工作
*在位于波哥大的国家美术馆展出，展览名为《消失的城市》（来源于意大利卡拉布里亚的中世纪古城马泰拉），作品体现波普艺术的精髓

文艺复兴波普-迷惑艺术
*学习并且热爱意大利艺术，特别是文艺复兴时期的大师，从中得到启发
我创作了系列作品《文艺复兴波普-迷惑艺术》
在哲学理念上，与波普艺术有关，混合古典学院派技巧和漫画-现代平面设计-街头艺术；将过去+现在+未来融入具有讽刺意味的游戏
通常会加入我自己的符号：鸟、狗，或者是来自系列作品《魔幻世界》的物品
对我而言，学习如何在当今世界表达这些人物，这些伟大之处
在文化上，我与它们相关联，它们得以和我们继续生活，由此向意大利文化致敬

寂静之城
《寂静之城》后形而上艺术是向乔治·德·基里科的致敬
作品描绘的是我梦中所见，而这一切在全球封城之下成为现实
疫情之前，我用运动、速度和活力来描述我的生活，那么之后，一切截然相反
试图描述现代视野下的此时此刻，实际上展现了历史的演进
形而上的世界是静止的，没有时间，空间和事物变成石头，一片寂静
这一系列与形而上的世界有关，以神秘的空无一人的广场为中心，这对现实中的我们都很熟悉
事物成为空城里的主角
形而上艺术突出引人瞩目的对立，玩味光影，笼罩着异想天开的微小事物

独立映像：面对当前的状况，你认为艺术能为我们的世界、社区或者家庭做些什么？
塞巴斯蒂亚诺·纳瓦拉：此刻孤独围绕着我们，艺术成为最大的支持，让我们去反思美，去加深对文化知识的理解，愉悦精神世界
头脑的充实有利于文化发展
艺术具有重要的社会功能，对文化发展、人的身心健康很重要
艺术可以通过眼睛去理解，与美学有关，而不陷于理论之中
我们重新发现了家的意义，让美好的事物、令我们动情的事物包围我们
这就是艺术、情感、美好、美学、文化、精神、健康、社会表达
艺术赋予情感

独立映像：2021年新的一年，你在艺术创作上有什么新计划吗？
塞巴斯蒂亚诺·纳瓦拉：艺术叙述着我们经历过的事和传统
把这些变成信息，继而成为我们文化的一部分
因此，艺术需要一个载体和空间，这样它才能被广泛知晓
为了传递最大的益处
我喜欢在创作中探讨“魅力之美”和“交流进化”的概念
我比以往任何时候更加坚持工作，在艺术中弥补失去的时间
我想要发现我还能做什么
我将一直进行研究，用符合时代潮流的表达方式让杰出的意大利艺术文化进入日常生活
我想让新一代了解这个巧妙的艺术世界，喜欢上伟大的艺术，我希望我的作品让人在这个纷繁复杂的世界停下脚步，去思考，去感受情感的流动
正因为此我创作艺术，为了他们我奉献我的艺术
