Javier Arrés

Javier Arrés is a world-renowned motion / GIF artist and a 2019 London Art Biennale winner. Inspired by the sweeping views from his childhood home overlooking his hometown of Motril, Spain, Arrés is known for his manically detailed illustrations of fantastical scenery from cities, architecture and machines. He further brings these worlds to life through what he calls “Visual Toys”. Through these Visual Toys, Arrés invites the viewer into a fantastical world, inspiring the viewer to simply play with their imaginations.

Crypto Toy Coin

Crypto Toy Coin is Arrés’ latest Visual Toy. This new work invites us to imagine a future where cryptocurrency triumphs over its current limitations. In it he represents the fast-paced world of finance in a virtual environment, the internet with its universe of colors and infinite visual impact, an optimistic and exciting future, a world of possibilities that opens before us.

“Maybe it’s a futuristic virtual currency mining machine. Maybe a steampunk server dedicated to cryptocurrency…If you solve these things with your imagination you are already playing, you are creating your story, and only with the projection of an animation. That’s why they are visual toys.”
— Javier Arrés

Whatever the case, Arrés invites you to get lost in this new visual wonderland.
