Aesthetics and style

The style and aesthetic of Louis Sebastian Pane are characterised by a fusion between visual art, music, animated movie, with stylistic traces distilled from art films, but also as a live action style. The result of this blend is a mode of original vision and his direction ranging from video installations to video clips, from commercials and shorts, real works of art that highlight a rigorous style but always open to new paradigms and visual space.[7]
