Pilar Zeta was born June 15, 1986 in
Bueno Aires, Argentina. She’s actually
done album cover art work for Head full of Dreams, the 2015 release from one of
my favorite bands, ColdPlay. She pretty
much found her calling very early in life, drawing and painting since she was
six years old. Her early exposure to art
museums by her father, Indigo children
philosophies from her mother, and
introduction to 1960’s bands like Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin by her
brother, she found herself very interested in cosmology, metaphysics, and later
meditation, the techniques and colors used in the artwork in the museums, and
the psychedelic album covers of the
bands. She was fascinated by art but
completely blown away at the ability to create works of art using
computers. She knew she would be a
graphic designer and at the age of 19 she did just that when she landed her
first graphic design job.
I took a
look at some of her work and found it to be very out there! She uses a lot of color, geometric shapes and
out of this world themes. I think she is
very interesting because she is not afraid to step way outside of the box which
I feel not only enhances her work but distinguishes her work from all others. You definitely get a feel for all of her
earlier influences in her work, especially the metaphysics, cosmology and
psychedelic trip you feel like you’re on when you look at it.
Coldplay's use of the interlocking circles is great... that design is found on an ancient temple in Egypt that is more than 9,000 yrs old... it is etched into the wall is believed to be original to the structure. I have my students in 3D design draw it as a warm up exercise at the beginning of the semester.
