“The very word Pop, which takes its meaning from the word ‘popular’, is something that should appeal to as many people as possible, so it is not necessarily different for everybody. For us, the meaning of Pop is in the fact of creating something that can have a strong visual impact and transmit positive feelings to as many people as...
“The truth is that we are constantly exposed to new trends and references which, moreover, are the same for everyone. However, there is indeed the freedom for each person to internalise them according to their preferences and personality. Paradoxically, therefore, the source of popular culture is individuality. We each associate pop culture with what we enjoyed during our childhood and...

Similarly, my Star Wars posters and record covers tap into nostalgia...
“I do think that when an event, character, creation or trend permeates a society long enough, it transcends into a culture, and the way we represent that culture from our individual idiosyncrasies is through Pop Graphics.

“Pop is a form of expression for me, an expression that fits my current personal emotions. Although I embrace technology, I am also a person with a relatively slow pace of life. I often look back at things from the past, such as my retro comic-style works. I want to express a love for movies and a love for nostalgia.”...
“Pop is the rebellious and instinctive process of metabolising the relentless influx of popular iconography that bombards our daily lives through mass and social media. These vibrant stimulus shape our subconscious, embedding catchy jingles, iconic celebrity looks, and memes into our cognitive DNA, making it hard to resist ‘popular’ references.
