Saegel “Saegel” Bascombe, a Trinidadian artist, has carved a unique niche for herself by blending her passion for art with her love for scientific inquiry. Her recent creation, a life-sized portrait of artist Akhenaton “Yung Bredda” Lewis, showcased her ability to rally her community and deliver exceptional work under tight deadlines. Commissioned by her sponsor Kirt Hill, Bascombe completed the piece in less than the usual month and a half, thanks to the unwavering support of her boyfriend, Joshua Riley, and a dedicated team of friends and family. The project, executed in a makeshift studio, was inspired by Yung Bredda’s gospel music and aimed to capture the essence of time through a ribboned canvas design. Bascombe’s artistic journey began in childhood, where her early creations, such as a rainbow art piece in primary school, hinted at her future potential. Despite her initial uncertainty about pursuing art as a full-time career, her achievements, including topping the Caribbean in 2D art at the CSEC level, solidified her resolve. After a brief detour into engineering and cultural studies, Bascombe embraced her true calling as a full-time artist. Her recent accomplishments include being selected for Royal Caribbean’s Artist Discovery Programme, where she created a mural representing Trinidad and Tobago’s culture. Bascombe’s work, characterized by its uniqueness and vibrant acrylic layers, continues to evolve as she explores new mediums and opportunities. She remains unfazed by the rise of digital technologies, confident in her ability to remain relevant through her genuine artistic inquiries. Bascombe aspires to reopen her art studio and reignite her passion for teaching, while also expanding her portfolio as a muralist. Her story is a testament to the transformative power of art and its ability to bring spaces and people to life.
