Pilar Zeta

Pilar Zeta is an Argentinian graphic designer, artist, and fashion designer who became famous for her surrealist album covers. Her work is characterized as "big, striking shapes, punctuated with a dash of the unexpected" (Wiki,9).  She began to draw and paint at the age of six and frequently visited museums with her family, which fueled her love for design. In the early 2000s, Zeta moved to the United States and began working as a graphic designer, even though she had not continued her education in secondary school. In 2013, "Zeta began designing her own fashion lines. In August 2014, she debuted her collaborative fashion line Holographic Universe. According to Zeta's website, "the fashion and lifestyle brand was influenced by their fascination with the cosmos, neo-classical sculpture, and time travel." Zeta created the artwork while designing the fashion pieces. By late summer of 2014, the line had been exhibited in Paris, New York" (Wiki,7). Later, she dabbled in directing and "manifested her aesthetic in numerous mediums such as music videos, album artwork, set design, and live performances" (pilarzeta.com). The biggest reason she caught my attention was because of the famous artists she has worked with. Her website states that she "has collaborated with artists such as Coldplay, Miguel, and Katy Perry!" The work below portrays her work for Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream." Her artwork is unique and bold, and I personally like how she is able to use her style in so many different mediums!
