Hello, my name is Gustavo (Tavo) Figueroa, I am a 28-year-old visual artist from Veracruz, Mexico who has lived in Fort Wayne, Indiana since 2012. My beginnings in creating what someone could define as art takes place back to my childhood drawing cartoons as a form of expression and love when creating things from my imagination. Over the years, that passion was transformed into different formats influenced by the entertainment I was consuming, such as photography, video blogs, and illustrations. This made me realize that I love developing projects that start with a simple idea.

 

My focus is graphic design and photography, but it is not limited to those fields. There are jobs where I've been involved in video editing techniques and social media management, or I've applied skills from all those fields at once onto a specific project, but always with the desire to learn more and experiment with new ways of creating astounding visuals.

​

Speaking of my works, they are influenced by many things, music, movies, anime style, colors, elegance, simplicity to complexity.  To me, the purpose is the message that can be seen most reflected in my photography. There are times when I work under the client's instructions or have creative freedom. At the end of the day, that is my goal as a visual artist, to develop an idea into something real, and to enjoy the creative process, and that inspires me to improve my discipline as a designer, photographer, and person.
