Creator Spotlight- Ventigoth

It is not often that we expose the dark parts of ourselves to the rest of the world. We want to let others in, but we also want to be accepted. So we go about our existence showing only the parts of ourselves that we think will be well-received. It wasn’t until we stumbled upon Ventigoth’s work that we realized how beautiful our rough edges can truly be.

Throughout the years Carlos Gallegos, also known as Ventigoth, has mastered the art of deceiving the superficial mind. To the unsuspecting onlooker his images could portray a seemingly normal life, but his concepts are anything but traditional. Pain, lust, deceit; these are all taboo themes that lurk between the layers of every frame; a truly beautiful way of highlighting humanities faults and illnesses in a whimsical manner.

With that being said, Ventigoth’s work does not always revolve around themes with shadowy undertones. Just like anyone, our existence jumps through a colorful spectrum of emotions. This beautiful ombre of our existence is shown through the artist’s portfolio, making it so that in order to truly understand his unique point of view, one must look at his journey as a whole. A special way of appreciating someone’s craft, in which you must dive into each piece individually and put it together like a storybook. In order for the story to make sense one must read it in its entirety, from beginning to end.

In a way, it reminds us of our own process. We cannot be defined by a single moment or still-frame in our lives. It is the many different phases of ourselves that make us who we are.

At HGAB Studios we aim to encourage and nurture every type of creative. Inspired by artists like Ventigoth, creative freedom is at the root of everything we do and we would like to invite you to explore your own creative boundaries.

Creator Spotlight: OURCAMP

Art is a business. No matter how creative or conceptual the maker is, the pursuit to monetize any craft, will always exist. But it’s how its monetized that sets the artist apart.

“In an industry that is subjective, the only thing that matters is differentiation.” says OURCAMP co-founder Roberto Gatica. OURCAMP is an artist collective that seeks to find experimental approaches to their own business development and growth. Comprised of 6 founders each with their own creative talents, OURCAMP has come together to create a fusion of art that has given multimedia a whole new meaning. The artist collective aims to express themselves through different mediums such as music, film and design in hopes of making a lasting impression on art and culture.

Each project produced by the young collective, involves incredible art direction and a distinct point of view that acts as their signature. From gallery nights in which all the art is being sold for specific art supplies rather than a monetary value, to a hopscotch installation in the middle of a busy transit area designed to bring joy to its commuters, OURCAMP always finds a way to flip the status-quo on its head. At HGAB Studios we have had the pleasure of hosting several OURCAMP productions and events that have sparked our curiosity and left a lasting impression on us. To learn more about the collective and their work, explore the gallery below.

Creator Spotlight: Giano Currie

“I paint with light and sculpt with shadows.”

This is the theme present in all of Giano Currie’s courageous and captivating images. Each one of his portraits contains an almost bewitching message that can only be communicated to the viewer through his play of light and shadows. It is apparent that the story the artist is trying to convey through his art, stands at the forefront of any piece Currie creates. It is art in its truest form; made with the specific intention to communicate and leave its effect on the viewer.

Giano Currie is an Award Winning Fine Art Photographer, originally from Surinam. He is an ambassador at HGAB Studios and has worked inside our photo + video studios to create some of his latest work. Please see more of his photography below.

Creator Spotlight: Fernando Osorio

Film, thrust and a little bit of pixie dust! These are just a few of the cosmic elements that come together in Fernando Osorio’s visual compositions that are defining an era. An era in which technology has found a way to intervene in almost every single aspect of our lives, leading artists such as Osorio to seek asylum in a much simpler analogue lifestyle.

Just one year shy of twenty, the creator also known as @FernForests on Instagram, has created a stylistic approach and visual aesthetic that sets him apart from the digital masses. When he is not in New York attending classes at Parsons School of Design, he is avidly creating content in Miami using creative workspaces like HGAB Studios to develop his craft inside our many photo and video studios. Please take a look at some of the work he has created here and in various corners of the earth, by visiting the gallery section of this post.
