Every Piece Has a Secret — Inside the Mind of Colombian Artist Dei

Where it started

Born and raised in Colombia, Dei grew up surrounded by art, music, and limited resources — but never limited passion. Inspired early by his mother’s creativity, Dei found ways to create with whatever he could get his hands on: phones, notebooks, scraps. That DIY mindset never left him — and now, it’s embedded in every piece he creates.

"I always try to represent my feelings or a part of myself in every piece I create. These are details that are usually hidden at first glance unless you look closely or know me personally."

His style

Dei doesn’t believe in sticking to a single aesthetic. His work moves freely between Metalheart, abstract visuals, and raw emotional design — always shaped by what he’s feeling in the moment. From anime characters to musicians, from melancholy moods to introspective reflection, Dei’s art blends it all into something personal and powerful.

“One of the things I love the most about making art is inspiring others — whether it motivates someone to create or simply makes them feel something, that’s when I know a piece is successful.”

The collab with Créateur.Collective

This collab brings Dei’s emotional, experimental work to a new medium: fashion. Each design is filled with personal meaning and hidden messages — it’s the kind of art you wear, but also look into. For Dei, it’s not just about aesthetics. It’s about connection.
