Sebastian Kruger was born in Hamlin, Germany in 1963.

 He studied painting and graphic arts and quickly moved on
 to make his living as a caricurist, illustrator, and painter.


Kruger’s works are appreciated and collected by many Hollywood notables,
and his painterly twists on Bogart, Schwarzenegger John Wayne,
The Rolling Stones, are classics of their kind.

Perhaps never before has an artist displayed such an acute
 ability to capture the essence of those who occupy the public eye.


Perhaps Kruger's most remarkable talent is his ability to bring diverse painting
 techniques and styles to a given subject. Kruger's works range

 from pencil drawings, to near abstract paintings and then
to the near photo realistic, and he has mastered each
difficult variant with remarkable aplomb.
 Though the foundation of most caricature may rest in
the exaggeration of the certain of the subjects features,


Kruger often ignores the obvious, and focuses on more subtle aspects,
 still conveying the essence of his subject in a most profound
 and amusing fashion. Despite such exaggerations and maniacal morphs,

Kruger approaches nearly all of his subjects with a level of respect
and sincerity. His goal is to reach inside of them and pull out the very
essentials of their character. This requires a certain empathy
on the part of the artist, as well as the requisite artistic skills.




Sebastian Kruger has had three popular art books published
 of his works and has a yearly art calendar from Morpheus.

He has recently been working on select motion picture projects.

“Kruger has a genius for capturing the essence of his subjects
through caricature.”—The London Times
