Andre Levy a.k.a. Zhion is a multicultural and multidisciplinary creative mutant with a diverse point of view. As a commercial illustrator Zhion strengthens ideas by condensing their narratives into accessible imagery while recombining his skills according to the needs of each project. The results are strong conceptual visuals – often twisted with a touch of surrealism and lowbrow humor. This formula is the sum of years of experience as senior art director for advertising in Brazil and Germany, his academic background as graphic designer, a personal interest in semiotic studies and an ever-increasing drive for experimentation with different formats, medias and techniques in his own artistic work – in which he approaches transformation and change in social issues and constructs, in metaphysics and in the creative process itself, among other themes.
