How did you get into digital art?

I have always been very passionate about the digital world. From the age of 13, I expanded my knowledge in designing and developing websites. I had a particular interest in design and branding and following university, I used my skills in creating a digital agency, Anckor, catering to clients that desire sleek and minimalistic designs to their websites. I always wanted to have a broader reach and sought to bring my own designs to life; that’s when I founded Blvck, a brand that epitomises my vision of aesthetics, with all designs created with a luxury, black and minimalistic touch. Today, the brand is home to an impressive collection of lifestyle clothing, accessories, and digital goods. We are very active on socials and offer a wide range of digital goods from filters, presets, icons and themes. Digital art and goods remain center to the ethos of the brand.

What makes your artworks and the brand stand out from the crowd?

The artwork applies my personal ‘Blvck’ stamp by creating a distinctive and aesthetically satisfying effect in each piece. I play on various shades of black, encapsulated 3D effects by bringing my ‘art to life’ and leaving an imaginative and aesthetic vision to the viewers, through a melancholic theme. The artwork embodies the ethos behind the brand with the purpose of demonstrating Blvck Paris’ poetic and artistic endeavour to those that share a love of aesthetically pleasing monochrome art and design.

My pieces capture the essence of aesthetics, consistent and bold, I do really wear black every single day, it has become a part of my identity. This is a passion that I share with millions of followers that recognize the pleasing aesthetic use of black. Despite of the color, I built a strong personality to the brand by adding a melancholic, powerfuland minimalist feel to the brand.
