Joshua Aciares

Joshua Aciares, a native of New York, was profoundly influenced by the city’s vibrant energy and dynamic cultural landscape, which fostered his creative inclinations from an early age. His artistic journey began in his formative years, with seminal works such as John Carpenter’s The Thing igniting a deep appreciation for visual storytelling. Initially focused on illustration and design, Aciares utilized art as a medium to articulate his inner world and creative vision.

Aciares’ passion for art was notably cultivated during his middle school years, where healthy competition with peers served as a catalyst for the refinement of his skills and dedication to self-improvement. Transitioning into high school, he embraced the challenge of producing artwork solely with pen, an endeavor that required ingenuity, an acceptance of imperfection, and persistence. These formative experiences were instrumental in shaping his artistic philosophy and honing his craft.
