About this artwork
"The Last Cigarette" captures a sentimental moment that every smoker is familiar with, the idea of having the last cigarette one is ever going to have. The piece is less about smoking and more about endings and new beginnings, and engaging in a cycle of change. The artwork is humorous, as more often than not the moment of "the last cigarette" is often a lie. But whether or not it is even true, the artist endeavours to capture the moment in which…
an individual believes that they can actually change. Executed as an oil pastel drawing, the artwork is bright and nostalgic. The vibrantly coloured sunset breathes optimism into the affirmation "I can change".

He employs oil pastels and colored pencils for rapid idea testing, translating these into layered, formalized paintings with a post-impressionist undercurrent. Sesto's works, rife with symbols and motifs, oscillate between the visible and the invisible, offering a complex dialogue to viewers. His art dives deep into existential explorations, questioning the nature of human perspective and the constant need for regeneration, evoking a profound sense of introspection.
