About SeanO

SeanO is an artist, filmmaker, and street photographer, and Capturing London is my vivid exploration of life in the world’s greatest metropolis. "London is my spiritual home," and there’s nothing more fulfilling than creating portraits and sketches that authentically capture the essence of people's street-life experiences in the city.

I’m a straight non-conformist, embracing a somewhat tame yet bohemian lifestyle. Always in search, endlessly curious, and ever-exploring, my work as an artist and filmmaker is deeply shaped by cinematography and its power in storytelling.

After experimenting with various forms of imagery over the years, I’ve found that figurative art brings me the most fulfillment. Painting people is both a challenge and a true source of satisfaction.

Who am I and what am I?  I'm continually finding that out!  However I call myself a mixed media artist... in the past

have also had the privilege of being professional photographer and filmmaker too! 

As a mixed media artist I engage with paint, charcoal,
pastel, chalk, digital sketching and almost anything I can
creatively lay my hands upon.  Everything is focused upon the pursuit of capturing those beautiful, emotional and profound moments from the human storybook called LIFE"   SeanO

It's not just about capturing a persons likeness

I love doing people portraits as every painting presents the added challenge of trying to capture a persons latent feelings and emotions.

Portraits are not just about capturing a likeness, it's also about 

capturing the essence of the moment, an attempt to uncover a persons tangled mind and our raw naked emotional reactions.  Looking at art with this kind of prospective makes the human story and portrait so much more interesting.

​My portraits, films and life moments -

all captured from the streets

Just like the great artist Caravaggio, all my muses are from the streets, they are just ordinary people, leading ordinary lives, existing to breath, live and survive.  I'm quite an empathetic person so its only natural that my art is intensely focused upon capturing the darkness and light of human emotions.  I tend to choose street muses where I sense a strong visual connect with feelings of love, joy, anticipation, sorrow, pain, isolation and mental anguish.   Just like the oddment shapes of a jigsaw, we lay the pieces of our own puzzle throughout our daily existence, pieces-by-piece as our journey unfolds, each and every precious life moment helps narrate the compelling story of our lives.
