Artist Statement-Bio Javier Morales

Artist Statement

As a graphic designer my work is based in digital work and I usually tend to go for a dark and goth aesthetic when its about making my work with totally freedom, mostly of my work tries to focus on personal experiences and also about the feelings that some people could be afraid to show, most of my process of making my work is using different dark color palette and I like playing with shapes and also typos, also most of my ideas just appears as quick ideas or thoughts and I push them to see where that idea goes to and improve them to create unique works, by making my work something “dark or goth” I’m trying to make people have different feelings by looking at something that could be seen as something “scary or demonic” since by being something different it catches attention quickly and making people look further to art and see different ways of creation of art.

Artist Bio

Javier is a graphic designer that started drawing and getting into the world of art in an early age during middle school in Ecuador, during his time in school he never had that much education in the world of art since in Ecuador been an artist is not a primary option to make a living, but when he realized that he had to do something for a living he realized that he can make a career as a graphic designer and he moved to the US to complete his career and become a professional graphic design.

His creations manly focus on the dark/goth aesthetic making something different and with a lot of sentimentality trying to show other side of the graphic design, by creating logos, posters, and making them with a unique aesthetic, now Javier keeps working with new ideas and also working with other types of graphic design besides the dark/ goth aesthetic and giving more different ways of expression.
