Colombian architect and digital artist based in London. While studying architecture, she discovered her love for 3D visual art and decided to focus her career on this area. She currently works as a 3D artist in London. In her personal work, Angela blends her passions for architecture, art, surrealism, travel, nature, photography, and technology. Her pieces are a visual journey that take the viewer to both real and imaginary places. Rather than replicating locations exactly as they are, she aims to capture the essence of a place and convey the feeling of being there, whether it's a faded memory or a dream. With each piece, Angela invites the viewer to experience a unique world that she has either explored or imagined. Her art is a way to escape, learn, and experiment, and she hopes to inspire others to do the same.

ROLU likes to explore - to find wild hideouts in nature and the uncanny corners of urban sprawl - always carrying a sketchbook. He worked in the field of Medical Science holding the occasional exhibition and painting murals, until web3 finally allowed him to embrace art as a full-time career. He creates surreal characters, flowing inky landscapes and 3D curiosities; forever wanting to blend mediums and explore new methods of interaction with art. His art is made to capture the imagination, with details to encourage viewers to take the time to find hidden secrets. ROLU has worked with many projects, creating the art for the generative music collection OMGKirby GENESIS, commissioned art of RENGA, MAYC, GutterCats, WAGDIE, and more. His own collection MEMES by ROLU is a humorous take on the web3 space, leveraging his illustrative style.

My journey into the world of art started at a very young age. I was always so excited to see my father’s drawings. I have vivid memories of him drawing detailed fish. He was a soldier in the past, and said that drawing was the best way to pass the time. After the war, he retired to be a guard at a fishing company. I was always interested in how he drew things; his drawings were very clean and elegant. From him, I learned to draw simple objects, animals, cars, and robots. I have been developing my skills ever since my childhood. In middle school, I began to face some issues with drawing. Everyone had their own style, while I was stuck with realism. I wasn't good in academics, so I decided to dedicate myself to the study of art and design. That's when I learned there was more to art than just drawing. When I discovered 3D software, I felt a connection to it right away. The learning process was like second nature to me. The more I learned about 3D software the more I realized my hardware was a huge limitation and that's when I discovered voxel art. It was still 3D design but required less resources. As with all things, it was easy to learn and hard to master. Fast forward to today, it's now the main medium for which I create in.After earning my Master of Arts in Visual Communication Design, I wanted to pass my knowledge onto others so I started working as a 3D Design college lecturer. It is my passion to teach others about creative thinking and idea execution. Have faith in your abilities and have an open mindset. Explore new ideas, try new things, and do not be afraid of failure. Limitless possibilities will open themselves to you.
