But nowadays, her art is a far cry from charcoal nudes. Loud, bold, and colorful, she creates powerful visuals using everything from markers to acrylics, pencils, and ink, and sometimes even her bare hands making the whole process a very personal one. As such, her art breaks the boundaries of how the body and facial features are illustrated through the fashion industry. In other words: she likes mixing things up!

But though her work is a vibrant mish-mash of sorts, she herself is much more subdued. “My work is usually very loud, bold, and somehow different from my very chill real-life personality,” she told Adobe’s online magazine. “It probably has to do with the fact that I get bored easily and love to experiment, and I find art to be the perfect way of expressing myself.”

Her energetic illustrations attracted the eye of various global brands and publications. “I’m constantly in a different headspace and love to think three steps ahead, and usually the next project is the most exciting one,” she says. “When working with clients, I really like a good brief, but I also love to come up with new stuff and usually do a bunch of explorations using the tools and colors that I feel work best or will help that specific brand communicate better.”

Having worked for the past 10 years with almost all the key players in New York’s brand underground, Meye draws on his classical training and outsider’s perspective to develop an iconic graphic language and style. It’s his unique blend of low-brow and high-brow aesthetic that has caught the attention of people like Spike Lee, who’ve Meye ended up designing him T-shirts.

But when it comes to his creative background, it all begins with his parents. “Both of my parents were architects, and because it was a Swiss household, my family was passionate about minimal design,” said Meye in an interview with The Great Discontent. “Growing up, I hung out a lot in my parents’ woodshop,” he recalled. “My parents frequently built models and drew blueprints for their projects. I spent time drawing with my brother and making things out of wood. Hanging out with my parents in their shop was my first connection to the world of art and illustration.”

Nowadays, his art is a mixture of all sorts – anything from digital illustrations and murals to sneaker design and sculpting. “I believe risk-taking is more about daring to try something new,” he says. “You don’t want to be pigeonholed as the person who’s only known for one thing.”

“Initially, I was working away from representation, taking images and source material and cropping them oddly, or splicing them into patterns,” recalled Perkins in an interview with Art of Choice. “Working through this process, I found that I was more interested in optical shape play, than necessarily questioning the image. I also found a more personal voice in abstraction that was less burdened by theory. And so from there the paintings began to slowly evolve away from image and towards abstraction.”

With bright colors a theme throughout his work, Perkins says that “color has always been a constant source of inspiration, as well as the unique space of a painting, as something that is flat, but has depth. That essential paradox has always been a great source of inspiration,” he says. “For me, the sublime and its shifting cultural definition has been theme in my work, tangentially or directly, for many years. I often think of my current work as attempting to describe impossible sublime forms. Forms that seduce and reward; hopefully inviting the viewer to linger long enough to slowly tease out their logic.”

Still, he admits that finding just the right colors is a slow process for him. “Most of my palettes start digitally: cropping, editing, distilling down colors from photos that I have taken, or gathered. I keep a running catalogue of source material, mostly digital these days, but occasionally physical,” he says. “By and large the images describe the natural world in some sense. Increasingly, I’ve been investigating color and light at night, nocturnes in a sense.”

Take a closer look at some of his geometrical paintings.
