Life’s movement is what interests me the most, how we all go through the same stages but each one in their moment. How sometimes life can be as bright as the sun, and others it can be a dark void that we feel we can never escape from. These contrasts are what motivates me constantly.

I would describe it as a hybrid approach that takes different techniques from contemporary art, where I want to show my vision for the future, specifically the close future and the things that are about to happen.

I try to stay open and receptive to the new, but I also try to be more selective; there’s too much stuff out there. It’s a hard balance, to be honest. Stress and saturation sometimes get to you and I need a couple of days to reconnect with myself, the speed we’ve created is too much for human beings to take. On the other hand, I never lock myself in the old ways of doing things, I believe every new generation discovers a way to reinvent the mechanics and processes.

I don’t think being self-taught is the most important, but being proactive in the way we face problems is crucial – finding solutions by ourselves and expanding our minds instead of sitting and waiting for something to happen or just copying something or from someone.

Yeah, totally. Travelling with my parents and studying all over the world was a major change in my life, and it made me good at adapting easily and fast, as well as socializing and trying to have a friend or a group of friends in each city I set foot on. It also made me feel that I never had a classic ‘home,’ to which I developed a profound love-hate relationship, and now it’s a concept that I want to focus on in my work.

To be honest, I was always super bored when I had to take a plane or a train, but I was also bored in class, so I started developing the skill to imagine parallel dimensions or answer the question ‘what if…?’ Since then, this question has always been there both in my artistic practice and my personal life. Lately, for example, I’ve been trying to confront nature and technology through imagining what will happen in the end, and how the end will be a new beginning.

I start with the main concept so I can establish a solid foundation, then I build up the aesthetics.

As I said earlier, I’m very interested in the relationship between nature and technology and how it will develop. Will one of them reign over the other or will they coexist in balance?

I think my generation and the ones coming after us are here to solve all the mistakes humankind has made until now. We are much more conscious about respecting others and the environment we live in.

The studio was there before I even realized it. For more than a year, I had been working with friends and colleagues on different projects, but in order to progress, move faster and more efficiently, we needed to step up, and that’s when it happened. That was just the beginning. With the studio on, we had to work harder than ever to establish it, but I’m happy it all turned out. Now I’m working alongside incredible people that I admire so much.
As per our plans for the future, we just finished a huge campaign for Mugler starring Bella Hadid, and we are now moving smoothly to bigger and bigger projects. It’s really important that we project ourselves as a team rather than a plain studio business, we count on each other for growing together and helping each other.

Misato means kindness in Japanese. After some personal experiences these past years, I realized I was not being my best self and I was letting darkness take over, and what always saved me was kindness – mine and other people’s. Since then, I decided that I only want to work with people that can be kind to each other and treat the rest as equals. My team at the moment is composed by Laura Rigau, Carla Almeda, Diego Sanjuan, David M. Romero, Alex Nikolov and Alex Moli.

It has definitely been a year of big changes for everybody, especially for mass media – they finally realized that 3D and digital content have no limitations.

I love working with these people because their visions are very inspiring to me, and they are also good friends of mine. What motivates me is seeing how far we can get as a civilization. The future is unknown, but today is inevitably a step towards that direction.

I find hope in the people I love, in the people I deeply admire, and in all the unknown I have yet to learn.

I’ve been friends with Yohei and Miriam for a long time now. Our creative visions are pretty similar and we wanted to do something cool that would work for both projects.

This is a tricky one… I’ve felt like I was losing my voice in some projects, but then you think about it and it’s obvious that you leave a part of yourself in every thing you do. When I feel like this, I stop for a minute and take a deep breath, then I find a way to introduce risky personal ideas into the work with clients. I think that, at the end of the day, that’s what they are looking for when they choose to work with me.

My vision is quite dystopian. I think we will live in an increasingly separated world: on one side, all the machines and ‘techie’ people, and on the other, people that’ll learn to go backwards to respect nature more. Eventually, both will connect and think of machines that resemble or emulate the mechanisms of animals, plants, the weather, etc.

I think this will be an era of contrasts till each side meets the other, like the end of the Uroboros. I will keep working in finding logic and experimentation for developing new forms of art that will be deeply involved with the creation of the future.

My plans for the upcoming months are to travel as much as possible (when quarantine’s over) and invest time into achieving my personal goals. On the other hand, in five years, I see myself generating new narratives and new ways to understand them within different artistic disciplines.
