Chilean Creators Join AKNEYE
AKNEYE continues to expand its international reach with the arrival of two rising voices from Chile: Braulio Lerena and Petruzzi (Eduardo Flores). Each artist is set to bring their unique artistic language to the eye-shaped sculpture that will add new depth to AKNEYE’s global art movement.
Braulio Lerena, based in Chile, brings a completely different energy to the table. His work is known for its playful cartoon doodle style, full of movement, symbols and colors. Inspired by city life, nature and digital culture, his drawings combine fun characters with bold shapes and hidden meaning. Behind the lightness of style lies a thoughtful structure, inviting viewers to look closer. His AKN will reflect that balance — bold on the surface, complex beneath.
Born in Santiago, Petruzzi is a multidisciplinary artist whose creative path began with graffiti and evolved into a mature practice that spans painting, digital illustration, printmaking, sculpture and textile art. Merging traditional techniques with contemporary themes, his work navigates time, symbolism and form with both intuition and precision. With past collaborations that include Ronson, Metro de Santiago, Sharpie and Fernet Branca, Petruzzi consistently demonstrates the ability to translate personal vision into broader cultural conversations. His upcoming AKN will channel this tension between tradition and innovation — a signature of his approach.
As both artists reinterpret the AKN through their respective styles, their contributions highlight AKNEYE’s commitment to fostering dialogue between global voices and visual experimentation — one eye at a time.
