Enrique Carbajal González, known artistically as Sebastián, is a Mexican sculptor born in Camargo, Chihuahua, on 16 November 1947. Working from the late 1960s, he is known for monumental urban sculpture and for a recognisable geometric form rooted in Mexican and Latin American traditions.
His constructive impulse drew on the principles of kinetic art and first found expression in transformable sculptures. He entered the Academia de San Carlos in 1965 and later studied at the Escuela Nacional de Artes Plásticas of UNAM, where he won first place at the 1965 annual exhibition. After the Tlatelolco massacre of 1968 he was detained and sent to Military Camp Number 1.
His output ranges from small and medium pieces to large public works, and includes a group of works reinterpreting pre-Hispanic forms. He has held more than 120 solo exhibitions, and at least 276 monumental works are attributed to him, in places such as Japan, Spain, the United States and Latin America. Among his civic symbols are Arco Fénix in Sakai and Tsuru in Kadoma, Japan.
His legacy also includes the Fundación Cultural Sebastián, founded in 1997, and the Museo Sebastián in the city of Chihuahua.
