This collection centers on Japan, it's landscapes and it's culture. Unique, colorful and poignant. The duality in this country's essence, tradition vs modernity, is something you can find in both creators' work. And yet this specific drop is more concerned with igniting emotion, rather than telling a full-blown narrative. It doesn't impose a message on you. Like all great art, this collection of works is open ended. It aims to let the viewer dwell in it, and give shape to the raw emotion it exudes. And we can say with certainty, that it achieves this goal in marvelous fashion.
Marinel Sheu
There's a lot to unpack about Marinel Sheu, also known as the CEO of Vibe, and we'll get there in a second, but first of all...Who is Marinel Sheu? Marinel Sheu is an Albanian illustrator, currently based in Dublin, Ireland. He is known for his signature sunflower artworks or the cinematic evening sunset. You cannot help but notice his unique color palette and details that make every artwork special. His portfolio is big and ever-expanding. Marinel creates at a consistent and steady pace. He makes sure to stop and smell the flowers but never gets distracted for too long. He tells me in his own words: "I like to experiment, I like to play around. My inner child makes it almost impossible for me to experience art-block!" Marinel's art has been acknowledged and appreciated globally as he has worked for many worldwide corporations and has been published by important art magazines. Among them we can mention: 'It's Nice That', Arsham Studios, Disney, Gucci, Netflix and Vice.
