Juan Sebastián Barberá Durón
 Artista plástico 
Cd. de México 1964
Translated from Spanish-
Son of the great Luisa Durón, he grew up in an almost Renaissance environment, between artists and under the main protection of the baroque music of Bach and Hottetere, Couperin and Scarlatti, among others. Since a very young age, he had a great talent for drawing, painting and sculpture and at the age of ten he won the National School contest of art. From there on, he studied painting and engraving with significant teachers, and was dedicated in a very clear way to the plastic arts from the age of 17 years, after a mystical trip to the India. He continued his studies at the academy of San Carlos and, in a parallel way, studied industrial Design. As with all good young painters, at the beginning it is difficult to get good shows in galleries and museums, but soon he attracted his first sponsors: Mauricio Achar and Luis Méndez Jiménez, who arranged an solo exhibition at the Bookstore Gandhi, the meeting point of Mexican and international intellectuals such as Fernando Savater, Jorge Luis Borges, Octavio Paz… and artists, among them, Arnaldo Cohen, Vicente Rojo, Jan Hendrix, José Luis Cuevas, etc.

From 1990 he traveled to Europe with projects and expositions that permitted him to live for a few years in Vienna, Madrid, Barcelona and Paris. He was inspired by the work of Klimt, Schiele, Goya and Picasso. From these experiences he went on to produce around 5,000 drawings, engravings, acrylics, oils, sculptures and art objects. He has had over 40 solo shows in art centers, museums and galleries worldwide, in Mexico, Spain, France, Israel, United States and Índia. He exhibited in a traveling show throughout Latin America in the collective “Latin America Painters", organized by UNESCO and the Fund of Economic Culture in 1997-1998.

At present his work is found in different public and private collections and he is known for having published graphics by the renowned Polígrafa, in Barcelona in 1994. Others include, “The life and its drawings”, 1995, “Periolibros” in 1997; “Object Almost” 1999, as well as mural projects in public spaces such as the Bookstore Gandhi, in Passage Altavista, in Lucent Technologies, in Sports City, or in Nelson Steep Slopes, in Mexico City, as well as a monumental sculpture of the Conalep in the Edomex. Juan Sebastián is a painter recognized chiefly within Latin America and Europe.

In spanish
Juan Sebastián lleva este nombre por Johann Sebastian Bach. Hijo de la gran clavecinista Luisa Durón, creció en un ambiente casi renacentista, entre artistas y bajo el cobijo principal de la música barroca del propio Bach y de Hottetere, Couperin y Scarlatti, entre otros. Desde muy pequeño muestra un gran talento para el dibujo, la pintura y la escultura y a los diez años gana el concurso escolar nacional de arte. Seguramente, y de ahí en adelante, sabe que el arte es el camino a seguir.
Estudia desde muy joven percusión, pintura y grabado con grandes maestros, y se dedica de manera clara a las artes plásticas a partir de los 17 años, tras un viaje místico a la India. Autodidacta, realiza la carrera en forma libre en la academia de San Carlos y, de manera paralela, se licencia en Diseño industrial.


Como a todo buen joven pintor, al principio es complejo exponer en galerías y museos, pero pronto llegan sus primeros mecenas: Mauricio Achar y Luis Méndez Jiménez, quienes logran que Juan Sebastián convierta en espacio particular de exhibición los muros de la emblemática cafetería de la Librería Gandhi, punto de reunión de grandes intelectuales mexicanos e internacionales como Fernando Savater, Jorge Luis Borges, Octavio Paz… y artistas, entre ellos, Arnaldo Cohen, Vicente Rojo, Jan Hendrix, José Luis Cuevas.

A partir de 1990 viaja a Europa con proyectos y exposiciones que le permiten vivir temporadas en Viena, Madrid, Barcelona y París. Estudia a sus grandes maestros, principalmente, Klimt, Schiele, Goya y Picasso. A partir de estas experiencias ha producido alrededor de 5.000 obras entre dibujos, grabados, acrílicos, óleos, escultura y arte objeto. Ha expuesto más de 40 individuales en centros culturales, museos y galerías de prestigio en diferentes países, entre ellos México, España, Francia, Israel, Estados Unidos e Índia, y en todos los países de Iberoamérica en la colectiva «Iberoamérica pinta», organizada por la UNESCO y el Fondo de Cultura Económica en 1997-1998.
En esta publicación destaca la obra inspirada en los cuentos Casi un Objeto, de José Saramago y en la obra de teatro Feliz Nuevo Siglo Doktor Freud, de Sabina Berman. Juan Sebastián relaciona su obra más reciente con el carácter existencialista de la filosofía de Nietzsche.
En 1993 ganó el primer lugar con el dragón “Nicolás” en el Certamen de Juguete Arte Objeto, organizado por Impronta editores, Sedesol, el DDF y el fideicomiso para ayuda a los niños de la calle.
También deja ver el gusto y la pasión por trabajar siempre al lado de dos jóvenes poetas: Paola Herrera Ledesma y Dulce Chiang, en un contubernio poético-pictórico que ha llevado a la creación del Grupo Dragoneros.

Actualmente su obra se encuentra en diferentes colecciones particulares y públicas y se le conoce tanto por sus reconocidas publicaciones: Los conjuros, Polígrafa, Barcelona 1994; La vida y sus dibujos, 1995; Periolibros en 1997; Objeto Casi 1999; Su anuario 1989-2002; como por las obras murales en espacios públicos que podemos ver en la Librería Gandhi, en Pasaje Altavista, en Lucent Technologies, en Sport City, o en Nelson Vargas, en la Ciudad de México, obras abiertas entre las que destaca la escultura monumental del Conalep en el Edomex.

Juan Sebastián es un pintor reconocido principalmente en ámbitos del mundo cultural en España y México. Como artista plástico forma parte del Sistema Nacional de Creadores Mexicanos, insertado en el programa de pago en especie, con lo que su obra se incorpora al acervo patrimonial de la nación.
