How can an artist charm major clients in the industry with a big smile, an open heart, and a palette full of electric colors? Meet Jason Naylor! His portfolio has such giant names as MAC, Guess, Coach, Pepsi, Sephora, and so on, as well as prestigious awards – and our favorite is «One of the 100 Most Inspiring New Yorkers by BUMBLE». Jason’s murals made the city more vibrant, his NFT’s are highly technical, yet emotional and educational. His bright colorful work spreads messages of love and positivity, as Jason believes that these two senses are the key to success – and we do too. Get to know Jason closer in our interview
Jason, we're extremely happy to interview you and give a profound insight to your outstanding work, that we're huge fans of, to our audience! The protagonist of your pieces is COLOR! It is transparent that colors have an important meaning and outcoming message. Could you tell us more about the significance of colors to you?
Thank you! Yes color! I love it. Color has been a big part of my work for many years but it actually hasn’t always been. Earlier in my career I really loved black and white and my work was much darker actually, as I think in my personal life I’ve gone through ebbs and flows of happier times and not as happy times. Such is life! But I think it’s interesting to note that over the past 6-7 years, as I’ve really found myself, I have grown more and more interested in using more color.
To me color reinforces the themes in my work – love, kindness, positivity, inclusivity etc. I often think that if I create a piece that has every color in it, then every person in the world will be able to relate to it. But more than that, I believe that color and joy really go hand in hand. Bright colors tend to grab people attention, and have the power to shift their mood, spark joy and uplift their spirits, even if only for a moment. I love creating that in my work.
What was the longest it took you to finish one art piece? What about the shortest?
Well the longest project I ever completed was my book, Live Life Colorfully. (Speaking of color!) That whole process took over 2 years! And the shortest pieces take an hour or maybe even less. I guess it depends on what we consider an art piece… but something that feels vibrant and finished would take at least an hour.
Could you share your «relationship» story with NFTs? When did you decide to make the first NFT? And how do you view the development of the phenomenon?
We originally saw your mural in New York. What other cities can your colorful walls be found in? Is there a mural that has the most significance for you personally?
Yes! I have lots of murals in NY, some are permanent and others only remain up for a month or two. But I have murals all over the country as well, including cities like LA, Miami, Austin, Chicago and I also have one in Italy – and hope to paint overseas more this year! The most special is my Live Life Colorfully mural, which was in Chelsea but sadly no longer exists. It was the catalyst for my book and also the first mural that I did using only spray paint! It will always be very special to me…
If you could paint any building in NYC, what building would it be? What kind of painting?
Congrats on your recent launch of HUEMOTIONS. Could you tell us more about the collection?
In your opinion, what is the purpose of art? What affect should it have on people?

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.
