Amaury Filho — Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

“Pop culture is anything that resonates with a broad audience, from manga and K-pop to nostalgic aesthetics like 60s cartoons or 80s slasher films, which can inspire new styles such as the animation in Across the Spiderverse. Drawing from my childhood passions for films, comics, RPGs, and video games, I found my niche in design and fine arts. Pop culture is a lifestyle that connects us to meaningful experiences, and my work aims to enhance home decor or drive advertising campaigns through fresh concepts and compositions.”
