Nik Pepsi introduces himself as a digital artist (+anti-artist) strongly committed to spread his vision in words and images of chaos, beauty and love in both the physical and digital world. 

"Through digital collage and short animations I illustrate a record of reality based on free association and the construction of images that come from visible and invisible signals transmitted by digital culture and technological globalization: exploring elements of pop culture and today's internet, nostalgia for the past and the implications of hyper-techno-capitalism that molds our environment and reality in a sea of dreams, anxieties, fun, terror and an immense variety of events."

Nik's work explores the random mental states about contemporary life and nostalgia of a couple of generations through strident elements and colors, saturation and mixing of themes that are apartly meaningless (but with a lot of sense), and absorbing an infinite of themes and aesthetics of Internet culture. A particular look at current times through a lens of virtual reality dreams and translated signals from the echoes of the human mind and global consciousness. Work that has surely left a mark on the memory of many Internet users (especially on Instagram, where some of his posts went viral in different situations). A brand codified by emotion, surprise and pure catharsis that is reflected in his work.

 Nik was born in Argentina and at the age of 20 he left his formal studies to dedicate 100% to finding what he really wanted to do with his life. He has background studies in Psychology, Visual Arts and Audiovisual Media studies. He started making his firsts edits back in 2015/2016 and years later emerged to the smartphones screens through Instagram in 2020 through the name he is still known by these days: Nik Pepsi. Since then he actively dedicated himself to the development of his art and to tracing the lines of his career as a 100% independent digital artist and content creator.

 He has work and collaborated with dozens of worldwide artists, musicians and a wide variety of clients over the years. From 2021 to 2023 his graphics were part of the annual vaporwave-style calendar created by @emotionalapparel in his artistic project of Annual Collaborative Calendar. In 2022, three of his works were included in the exhibition “Last Messages” curated by @scot_cotterell_studio at @contemporaryarttasmania. In 2023 he was contacted by the Co-Founder and Managing Partner at “Permutation Ventures” Riva Tez to work in some compositions for PRAXIS, a project for the building of the first Internet-Native Nation. The same year he started his project and art collective @digikore_united to promote emerging digital artists within Instagram with the help of the multifaceted artist, actress and model @sephoravenites. Until 2024 he continued developing his work and carrying out commissions for individuals and events. In 2024 he started offering online workshops and other proposals to spread its vision and share it with digital artists in their practice, exploring more about the possibilities and the fun of creating digital anti-arts. He currently continues to develop and explore his work in commitment to his vision and creative universe, and with those who feed on it.
