Having immigrated into the United States very young, the artist lived between DMV and NYC, and after a short stint in Staten Island, settled recently in New Jersey. Art has always been a fun outlet for AllTheseFlows, technically the brand name that stemmed from a songwriting e-book the artist began in 2013. Having forayed into digital mediums around 2009 when he interned at a Digital Art Studio called “The STUDIO” in Manhattan, his work evolved to primarily digital at that time. As more visuals were needed to match the feel of the emerging brand, a more digitally-inclined practice took shape and form. Creativity feels like “second nature” for AllTheseFlows. “I love digital because I can re-purpose the assets easily, throw it on a shirt or anywhere, scale it easily, animate it, etc. I still appreciate oil and acrylic painting, but I feel like I don’t have as much time to do it, and the time to wait. I also like that I can easily fix my mistakes working digitally.” Today, in addition to taking commissions on instagram, AllTheseFlows also does brand ambassador work, largely for food brands, among other design projects including bags and apparel. Eventually, he’d like to try his hand at furniture design and texturing. He’s looking to showcase the 2-D work he makes in a gallery setting. “Since the majority of my work is digital, I feel like it’s hard to break into the art scene,” says the artist. With a growing following online, AllTheseFlows is looking to move his vision into the IRL space of the gallery.
