He interprets his figures in a very modern, abstracted style with an emphasis on form and negative space. First and foremost, he is involved in his family business, heading production research and design for their exports. When making a living does not get in the way, he indulges himself in his love for art.

He always begins his creative process with drawings and treats creativity as a journey in discovery, during which he explores deep feelings and emotions as they manifest in forms before his eyes. He believes it is a special moment when a new form comes to life. He seeks to reach out and touch the viewer with his works, reflecting both the visible and hidden realities within the viewer. All this he accomplishes by exploring the endless possibilities, combining imagery with forms.
Of his work he says: "My art is less about exact thinking, and more about opening one's self to multiplicity in meanings and perspective. I feel that a piece of art is successful when it inspires many different and imaginative reactions."
Seb, through his artistic involvements seeks to bring forth the best in Filipino art and sculpture.
