Sebastián Mederos

Uruguay, 1965

Biography

Sebastián Mederos is a Uruguayan artist who has drawn and painted since childhood. Raised by artist parents and influenced early on by his neighbor, painter Solari, he developed a strong connection to figurative art. He studied in the studios of Manolo Lima, Nelson Ramos, and Clever Lara, and later in New York.

Mederos’s work evolved from imaginative character studies to landscapes inspired by nature. A turning point came with his deep exploration of artists like Peter Doig and David Hockney, which helped define his current focus on painting from life and memory.

Today, living in the countryside of Punta del Este, he paints forests, skies, and spaces shaped by observation and emotion. “Painting is like a journey,” he says. “One thing leads to another.”
