Five artists under the age of 35 have been nominated for the Volkskrant Visual Arts Prize 2024. One of the artists is Sebastian Haquin, a tenant at 24 Borger Street.
An exhibition will be presented at the Stedelijk Museum Schiedam from April 6 through June 23 in which the works of the nominees will be on display. Around mid-May, a professional jury will officially announce the winner.
About Sebastian Haquin, Sebastian Haquin is a painter who interprets portraits, still lifes and symbolic scenes in an original way. Born in London, he then trained in art in Melbourne, before moving to Rotterdam a few years ago. He employs a technique in which he creates his oil paintings in one session, without letting the intervening layers dry. He gets his creative inspiration from dreams and vague memories, which he then uses models to convert to the canvas.
