AFEVE

Hi! I’m AFEVE, an acrylic painter! My name stands for “Awaken Far-out Extraterrestrial Visions Everywhere.” Each piece was created from a meditative journey, using ways to unlock the brain's potential for creativity. Through this process, visions unfold in my mind, highlighting details that I bring to life with UV-reactive and glow-in-the-dark paints. The result? Art that glows and transforms in unique lighting, immersing viewers in an otherworldly experience! After completing each painting, I translate my designs into digital prints, stickers, and other products. Please note, due to printing limitations, only original, hand-painted pieces feature the glowing effect. If you spot a product with that signature glow, it’s because it’s been hand-painted with care!
