Why Collectors Are Investing in Emotion-Driven Art

1. Mentorship and Evolution

Sébastien Montel’s journey from early explorations in figurative art to the more liberated world of expressionist art is marked by a commitment to emotional resonance and technical mastery. His evolution was influenced by his mentorship under Senegalese master Ousseynou Sarr (OS), who helped Sébastien Montel master techniques in mixed media and collage. While OS’s work was rooted in West African collage art, characterized by earthy tones and a focus on abstract elements, Sébastien Montel always remained true to his distinct expressionist style, focusing on human emotion rather than abstraction

Sébastien Montel’s move into expressionism marked a departure from traditional figurative representations, embracing bold colors and dynamic compositions to communicate visceral emotions. His artwork is best understood as an emotional dialogue—one that speaks to the soul through every brushstroke, layer of color, and texture. It is this powerful emotional impact that continues to draw collectors to his work today
