Sebastian Capella

I studied only briefly with Mr. Capella, yet his kindness left an indelible impression upon me. I have admired his work immensely ever since seeing the painting that won the top award at the 1983 National Portrait Seminar- it reminded me of Valazquez, it was so beautiful and powerful. Mr. Capella's kindness and willingness to help his students see more and express more beauty has impacted many of us. You certainly have left a great legacy, Mr. Capella. Thank you.

We will like to extend our sincere condolences to the entire family of Sebastian. He will be missed by many.
“God's purpose is that the whole earth be made into a paradise. So the dead will not be raised to life in a world filled with war, crime, and sickness. They will have an opportunity to live forever on this earth in peaceful and happy conditions”

My sincere condolences to Margarita and the entire family.

Amazingly talented! Awesome on the tennis court as well! Will always remember you and your family!

Perdimos a un gran maestro que enseño a una generación
a superarse y ser mejores artistas profesionales.
Su enseñanza más profunda para mi fue: Mientras mas ayudes a personas a lograr sus sueños ,el mundo abre por el mejor de la vida.
Los memorias del gran alma de Sebastian Capella viajes siempre en mi corazon y alrededor de nuestro mundo de pinturas.

We lost a great teacher who taught a generation to excel and become better professional artists.
His teaching was more...

An incredibly gifted and generous man, teacher and friend, Sebastian was truly a gentleman -- and a brilliant painter. His work speaks for itself, my prayers and thoughts are for his family in this difficult time. What a legacy.
