“As it stems from the root of the word ‘popular’, pop graphics encompasses everything that refers to the popular world—music, cinema, art, comics, television, fashion, etc. There are thousands of ways to reach people, from a photograph in colour, black-and-white, photo-montage, a hand-made illustration, digital, 3D, animation… The pop world is as wide as countries and cultures there are on...

“Pop culture shapes our perceptions, values, and dreams, broadening our knowledge and evoking emotions tied to specific moments in life, serving as a refreshing escape. My work, particularly my typography posters, reflects this influence by exploring the beauty and functionality of fonts, allowing them to serve their true purpose. 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. I am a Mexican commercial illustrator working for clients all over the world, and I usually solve my projects with the saturation of ornaments...

“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. The essence of pop art lies in selecting and recycling...

“I don’t specifically think about the Pop genre while creating my work. I simply wanted to create images that could be easily consumed by people. It’s about re-interpreting familiar things to provide a new kind of fun, and I find this approach enjoyable myself. For art to become more popular, it needs to be fun and light-hearted. To me, Pop...

“For me, ‘Pop’ isn’t a fixed definition but a constantly shifting reflection of the zeitgeist, shaped by media, trends, and the collective consciousness. It’s the artistic interpretation of what’s ubiquitous, instantly recognisable, and culturally resonant at a specific moment in time. It serves as a mirror to society, capturing the essence of different eras and the diverse narratives that shape...
