Sebastian Scaglione (b. 1991), known professionally as Cevo, is a self-taught artist based in Stockholm. His practice centres around large-scale, hyper-detailed figurative cityscapes that merge architectural precision with an anime-inspired surrealism. Working primarily with acrylic on canvas, his works often require up to 300 hours to complete.
His ongoing series Otoky, a retro-futuristic study inspired by his first visits to Tokyo and Kyoto in 2023, explores the paradox of solitude within densely populated cities. Through meticulously crafted compositions devoid of human presence, Cevo captures a sense of “futuristic nostalgia,” where neon-lit urban environments become the protagonists of silent metropolises.
Driven by admiration for Japanese urbanism and craftsmanship, his work invites viewers to pause within stillness and reflect on the evolution of contemporary cities.
