En Plein Air and Beyond

Influenced by impressionist masters like Joaquín Sorolla and Gustave Caillebotte, Sequeira practices Costa Rica en plein air painting, recording scenes directly from nature. This method not only enhances his observational skills but also infuses his works with a brilliant light and an authentic sense of place.

Sequeira’s international footprint is expanding, with his recent show at the IDB Staff Association Art Gallery in Washington DC marking a significant milestone. His work is now included in collections in Spain, Colombia, and the USA.
