Adrian Lopez
Artist Statement
From the moment I realized being Spider-Man wasn’t a realistic career path, I turned my focus to something that felt just as powerful—creating visuals that make people feel something. I was eight years old when I started drawing on anything I could find, and that early spark eventually led me to where I am now: 23 and completely immersed in the world of graphic design.
My work doesn’t stick to one lane. I pull inspiration from everywhere—rock and rap album covers, street art, random patterns on cracked sidewalks, even the way light hits a wall at the end of the day. I believe my eyes are trained to see beauty and potential in everything. That’s not just a nice thought—it’s my creative compass. Whether it’s a gritty texture or a clean, modern layout, I find meaning and use in what others might overlook.
This exhibit is a reflection of that mindset. You’ll see pieces that span a range of styles, from bold and chaotic to sleek and minimal. That’s because I don’t box myself in. I love pushing myself to try new techniques, new aesthetics—especially ones that are outside my comfort zone. Growth doesn’t happen when you stay safe.
What makes me different? I’d say it’s my hunger to constantly evolve. Design isn’t just something I do—it’s how I see the world. Every billboard, album cover, poster, or scrap of graffiti is a lesson waiting to be learned. If I’ve done my job right, this show won’t just display my work—it’ll let you see the world a little more like I do.
Because, after all, beauty is everywhere. You just have to train your eyes to catch it.
