]]>Here to lend us a helping hand is artist Okuda San Miguel. Known for his colorful murals and outlandish sculptures, San Miguel ascribes to the notion that more is more—especially when it comes to his color palettes. In fact, when it comes to his work (which is often described as Pop Surrealism), color takes front and center stage.
With a stated goal of “coloring the world”, the Spanish painter and sculptor employs all the colors of the rainbow when he paints his geometric patterns. Inspired and very much shaped by street culture, in particularly graffiti, his work aims at transforming the world we live in: turning grey concrete into a work of art.
“I aim at converting the monochromatic concrete structures and buildings into vibrant places that are filled with color and positivity,” writes San Miguel on his website. “Helping and hoping to change the lives of people. I want people to stop looking at the pavement and start looking up and around.”
Another goal of his is to make art more accessible to the common man. “Art must be present in public spaces constantly and my mission is to transform these spaces in a way that passing through them is an enjoyable experience,” he notes.
Indeed, his art can be enjoyed around the world in the streets of countries like India, Japan, Chile, Brazil, Mexico, Morocco, and Spain. Take a look at some recent noteworthy projects of his on Instagram.

]]>Besides her love for diversity, each medium has its own special qualities which Richter’s interested in bringing out, mixing those later together with other mediums. Apart from art, she also has a passion for underground electronic music, which she explores by working as a DJ and initiating underground club events. In other words: she treats life as her own personal playground.
Nevertheless, she admits she sees herself primarily as a painter. “I love oil painting and it is what I do most,” she told Art of Choice. “But I also create mostly all of my works in different mediums from the point of view as a painter. So, I would say I see the definition of ‘painting’ in a very wide range. When I do an installation, bringing all my works together in a setting, it’s like composing a huge room painting to me.”
Based in Hamburg, Germany, her works were exhibited in numerous solo and group shows. But you can also follow her online, through her Instagram page:

]]>“The advertising industry understands the strength of visual persuasion and I find it fascinating that our desires can be manipulated through aesthetics,” Genesis explained in an interview with It’s Nice That. “I use elements of that persuasive language in my work.”
Genesis knows a thing or two about advertising. Having studied fashion design at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago she has built props for advertising campaigns in Manhattan before earning her MFA from Hunter College, where she was accepted into the painting program only to be then drawn to clay.
“Objects are often surrogates for our self-identity,” she added. “The uncanny is the feeling of something being strangely and uncomfortably familiar, this discomfort comes from seeing ones projected self in an object. I am using humour and style to address the complexity, nuance and dissonance of human psychology.”
Her ceramic and porcelain creations were featured in numerous galleries and museums, including the Galerie Perrotin in Seoul and the Galerie Perrotin in New York.
