ABOUT ME

My name is Sebastião Ogando, and I am a lot of things.

I started my career in 2015 as a video editor, but I soon realized that dedicating myself to just one role meant condemning all my other sides to non-existence.

In this process of finding myself professionally, I sought to understand what art means by exploring its various extensions and, consequently, getting to know different parts of myself. Today, it makes no sense to work in these universes unless I do it all at the same time. It is exactly there, in the strange harmony of opposites, that I have found my way of thinking.

In a typical description of who we are, absolute certainty usually conveys the safety of a solid identity. In my life, whenever I settled on a final destination for who I am, that label quickly lost its validity. That's because it is impossible to define something that is constantly becoming.

But an identity that doesn't take on a rigid shape is still an identity. Some might describe someone like me as polymorphic, complex, or even indecisive. I like to believe I’m just someone who works using several languages at the same time.

Some also call it an Art Director.
