At only 29, Andrés Reisinger has established himself as one of the premier digital artists out there. His Instagram feed is a journey through a cotton candy-hued wonderland, where plush pink chairs and tapestries give way to sumptuous lilac nooks, cajoling all who scroll into a dream-like state. Since leaving design studio Six N. Five (which he cofounded) four years ago to branch out on his own, the Barcelona-based designer has been captivating audiences with his audacious 3D digital installations that merge contemporary culture with experimental and otherworldly designs. It’s a skill he honed in his hometown of Buenos Aires, where he’d make toys with his artisan grandparents. There, he harnessed the power of his imagination, boundlessly creating without being tethered to expectations or reality. Working alongside a who’s who of designers (Patricia Urquiola), furniture companies (Cassina, Ikea), and retail powerhouses (Nike, Uniqlo), his work and exhibitions are rooted in the unreal.

The Plastic Rain digital art installation, for instance, is a meditation on time and movement, while La Forma depicts eight images in tension, where shape, shadow, and color create the delicate push and pull of materials. An Exercise in Creating Space, his most recent collaboration with 3D artist Carlos Neda, is resplendent in surreal details, like steps leading to a door that seemingly opens to the sky. “I have a hunger for exploring and developing my ideas,” he says. “I stumble upon problems, boundaries, edges, and all kinds of roadblocks while working with the physical world. That’s something that empowers my process, and asks for my attention and improvisation. It’s the same feeling a musician feels when they’re [performing].”
