In the quiet corridors of the art world, where whispered secrets intertwine with the echo of creativity, exists an artist whose work transcends the boundaries of the tangible. Colombian-born fine-art photographer Juan Sebastian, a masterful weaver of dreams, invites us into his fantastical realm where veiled bodies and cascading fabrics become conduits to the ethereal. In a captivating conversation, he unfolds the tapestry of his artistic vision, revealing the secrets behind his enchanting world of magical realism. Miami Living Magazine: Juan, your latest collection, “With the Voices of Other Eternals,” is an intriguing dance between the real and the surreal. Can you tell us more about the inspiration behind this mesmerizing series? Juan Sebastian: The inspiration for this series stemmed from my fascination with the delicate balance between wonder and disillusionment. Childhood fantasies, so pure and boundless, often fade as we step into adulthood. I wanted to rekindle those lost dreams, to create a collective reflection on the bittersweet journey of growing up. Inspired by literary luminaries like Gabriel García Márquez and Isabel Allende, I aimed to blur the boundaries between dreams and reality, crafting a visual symphony where light and dark harmonize.
