Artistic Philosophy
"The shorter an image lasts, the longer the experiences. The faster an image, the longer the journey."
Influences from US travels and global impressions
Carl-Sebastian Lepper's talent was nurtured by his parents from early childhood. A decisive turning point in his work was a stay in the USA in 1982: the light there, the vast landscapes, and the unique zest for life inspired his first work in oil paint and continue to shape his art to this day.
In the following years, Lepper undertook numerous study trips to Mexico, the Seychelles, Thailand, and many Southeast European countries. The visual impressions gathered there flow continuously into his multi-layered painting.
Palette knife technique, oil painting, and Hamburg motifs
Since 2001, Carl-Sebastian Lepper has lived and worked in Hamburg. The Hanseatic city with its dynamic harbor has become an integral part of his work. His paintings are created through an intellectual and emotional process – from the concept in his mind through to the feeling and finally the virtuoso execution on canvas.
His characteristic style is distinguished by:
- Oil painting & palette knife technique: Dynamic paint application with spatula and brush for high plasticity.
- Refined mixed technique: Structures developed over years that bring light and space to life.
- Maritime & urban motifs: Hamburg harbor, coastal lights, and global travel impressions.
