1978, Lima, Peru
Born in Lima, Peru and based in Los Angeles, ALVARO ILIZARBE is a multidisciplinary artist who creates works that interact with everyday environments. He uses patterns, cyphers, Pre-Columbian filigree, and the language of advertising to form multiple dialogues with space, place, and art, creating works that explore the energies between things. His work places himself within a complex landscape, often engaging with architecture, transforming it completely. It offers the viewer a different world, as if stepping onto the other side of the mirror.

Indonesian contemporary artist ARKIV VILMANSA's iconic cartoon-inspired artwork emphasizes two-dimensional forms with bold outlines and vibrant colors. Traditionally trained as an architect, his structural and critical methodology contrasts with free artistic expression. Inspired by pop culture, his works make full use of color, organic forms, and canvas shapes, exploring non-representational art and cartoon character paintings, and uniquely controlling the surface and texture of the paint. We are pursuing ways to express this through the formulas we create. The use of color, shape, and line is influenced by creative industry leaders Takashi Murakami and NIGO.
