Bio
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.
"My digital collage compositions and animations tends to mix 2d with 3d elements exploring the nostalgia and memories around the internet and pop culture of the 90s and 2000s plus a particular look to the present times through a lens of virtual reality daydreams and translated signals from the echoes of the human mind and global consciousness".
Nik's work explores the random states of mind on contemporary life and the nostalgia of a couple of generations through strident elements and colors, and absorbing endless themes and aesthetics from the internet culture. Work that has surely left a mark in the memory of many internet users (specially on Instagram where some of its posts went viral on different situations). A mark encoded by emotion, surprise and pure catharsis reflected on 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.
