Original Drawings by Sebastian Letelier
Biography
Sebastian Letelier
was born
from his parents, so this child grew in an environment full of art which
influenced him later when he grew up and became
a man. The Fly Fishing was an early passion and hobby too, and finally
these two passions: Fine Art and Fly Fishing
have been joined in his life.
In 1993, the 13 year old Sebastian met Mr. Adrian Dufflocq
and his family who run the famous "Cumilahue
Lodge", who
has been an important influence and friend for Sebastian in his artistical and technical development in fly fishing, beside
the friendship between them both. It was in Dufflocq's
home where Sebastian saw for the first time those beautiful and
colorful classic salmon flies done by Rogan of Donegal, these streamer flies
tied by Adrian Dufflocq. Since then this
young boy has been tying Salmon flies artistic and classic....many of them
treasured by angler's that he has met
working as a guide.
At the age of thirteen, Sebastian worked as a salesman at a fly fishing shop.
At sixteen, he became a guide for "Rios
azules" Company, owned by brothers, Cristian and Marcelo Dufflocq and
Claudio Pumarino. Sebastian was the youngest
guide, and is still successfully working as a guide int
he Chilean Patagonia during the summer periods.
In 2000, Sebastian studied Fine Arts, Drawing and Painting with the Spanish
painter and teacher Martin Soria, who
teaches in the same tradition of the renowned Royal Academy of San Fernando,
where he was trained as a painter in the
early 70's. Martin changed his view in the Fine Arts appreciation, showing him
philosophical, technical and aesthetical
aspects of the European painting. Since 2004, Sebastian has been Soria's helper and works at Soria's
Academy,
teaching pictorial procedures and classic methods of painting.Sebastian
still in training at the Academy, also creating

Works. And as you can see by his work, is becoming a Fine Artist in his own.
