"Some people believe in God .. I believe in art.. some people pray .. I create" Mike Frederiqo
What inspired you to create the Campbell's soup x Bape series?
Well i got inspired by seeing Nigo's house and saw all the Campbell's soup prints and then the idea came naturally because the Bape camo is inspired by Andy Warhol camo so it just seem the perfect combination to bring those two together.
As an artist what keeps you inspired to create new works?
I'm open to everything I see. It can be a painting that I saw at the museum, or something that I saw on the street that inspired me to make new work. Being curious about what people think of my work and how far I can make it in the art world are also what keep me inspired.
Who are some of your favorite artist?
Andy warhol ofcourse and Kaws and Takashi Murakami, but specially Kaws, it is so simple and complex at the same time.
What is your earliest memory of art that you remember as a kid?
My parents are also creative so they always took me to art museums at a young age.
At what age did you start making art and why?
From the time I was able to hold an pencil. I've always been attracted to art because there are no limits.
What kind of future do you see for yourself as an artist?
A creative being.
