Can you start by introducing yourself ? Where did you grow up? What’s your background and how does it affected your career?
My name is Julian Guzman, I am a Colombian designer and 3D artist. I have been lucky to have had several roles as a designer working in different advertising agencies for various brands during my professional career. I have also participated in branding projects for independent brands and I have collaborated as an illustrator and creative for Vice Magazine.The most experimental part of my work comes from projects related to music, especially about electronic music, designing some posters for events in different parts of the world, as well as digital and physical covers of different DJs. I also participated in the construction of a brand of musical synthesizers called Outer Space Sounds and my last work as a designer and partner is in NEA (New Electronic Assistant), a project related to AI and music. These projects have forced me to explore new visual languages according to their needs and also influenced the experimentation with 3D art, with which I want to continue to make my way around Music, Art, Photography and Fashion.
Why did you choose become a digital artist?
As a designer I’ve always been very curious, I like to experiment with different tools to face all kinds of challenges that clients put in front of me. But the biggest of them was the need to find my own creative voice. Starting from that need was how this path of experimentation began, where I mainly sought the satisfaction of learning something new and creating something exclusively for myself. With 3D, I felt comfortable creating, it was a surprise to know that there is an infinite universe in these programs where there are no physical rules, being able to mold metal like clay or play with liquid materials and make complex shapes, was something that blew my mind.I know that the road to find my own creative voice is long but I enjoy it all the time and I am very excited about what is to come in the next few years.
Where do you find your inspiration?
I’m very influenced by abstract and conceptual art in general. I find inspiration in themes such as human perceptions, nature, technology and the future.
How would you define your work?
Do you think art should have a message? If so what is the message you want to express through your art ?
I think that in some cases yes, there are many artists who want to express social, political, philosophical, cultural messages and I admire very much to understand the work behind their works. In the case of my work, more than a message I want to awaken doubts “What are those forms?” “What do they represent?” “How do you make them?” “Are they liquid or solid?” Also the sensitive is important to me. When I work with so many details and textures I try to open doubts about their smell, their taste, their relationship with touch. Of all these doubts I like people to make their own interpretations of what they mean.

A thin edge of seduction and the consumerism fetish is thoroughly blurred in Acosta’s art in the use of both light, and dark tones. Bold lines serve as a fashionable juxtaposition of a peaceful dream-like state and a vivid color, representing action and presence in the moment.
