The great philosopher Snake Plissken once said that “the more things change, the more they stay the same”, and that certainly applies to 2020. This year has been a real whirlwind, but at the end of the day, social problems remain the same, which extends to our techno-dependency and toxicity on the Web. Italian artist Elia Colombo makes a precise critique of the current situation through his gallery, but at the same time does not hesitate to add a pinch of humor or a tender moment to some of his images.
Colombo describes himself as a “de-influencer” focused on “consoling the disturbed and disturbing the comfortable”. He started drawing when he was small, and beyond a work beginning as a pizza maker, he never stopped creating. However, he admits that today he invests more time in “design” than in “drawing”, and that he cannot identify the moment his activity became a career, since he never planned it that way. Nevertheless, more than 130,000 people enjoy his art on Instagram, and we definitely recommend that you visit his profile.
