Read on for our exclusive interview with the artist.
How has your creative practice and process evolved throughout time?
This multidisciplinary approach gave me a broad creative foundation.
What originally drew you to the illustration style you’ve developed?
From the start, Ive been fascinated by color and characters.
My first influences included gravure, comic books, tattoos, and films byStudio Ghibli.
I developed a style defined by bold black outlines to contrast and define my compositions.
What does it mean to you to be a multidisciplinary artist?
How does this manifest itself within your work?
Being multidisciplinary means embracing the freedom to explore beyond a single medium.
Each discipline provides fresh perspectives and creative tools, encouraging me to take on new challenges.
Youve worked with some of the world’s most recognizable brands.
What have those experiences been like?
These collaborations are always stimulating and enriching.
They require finding a balance between my personal artistic universe and the brands project expectations.
You recently created an installation for Acura and the Scope Art Show during Art Basel Miami Beach.
What was the inspiration behind the design you ultimately created?
What was your process in creating it?
I drew significant inspiration from Miamis stunning sunsets, which I translated into colorful gradients throughout the artwork.
To add a contemporary edge, I incorporated subtle digital glitch effects at key moments.
I also had the chance to design two car wraps for Acuras new ZDX and ADX models.
The overall result is a vivid, graphic universe that radiates positivity and celebrates the spirit of speed.
Im incredibly grateful to Acura for trusting me with this ambitious project!
What are some of your favorite past projects?
What do you hope people will take away from your work?
I hope my work gives people a visual and emotional pause, a positive moment in their day.
I want to evoke emotions, curiosity, and wonder through immersive and poetic universes.
Do you have any exciting new projects coming up?
At the moment, Im learning 3D modeling because I want to develop more projects involving art installations.
My goal is to bring my universe into three-dimensional spaces, interact with it, and push creative boundaries.
I find this medium fascinating and would love to propose projects in the United States or even in Asia!
Im incredibly excited to share this project, I hope its going to be fun and visually striking!
