Santos

Art Director · Studio & Exhibition

I direct the way things look when no one is pointing at them. Twelve years across fashion, gallery, and the loud end of advertising. Currently accepting art-direction and creative-director work.

Selected Work

01 / Projects
Aubert Noir Absolu campaign

Aubert “Noir Absolu”

Campaign · 2025

Full art direction for the maison’s 40th-anniversary campaign: photography, set, typography, and a film grade that took four weeks and one very good argument.

Vela Resort Season

Editorial · 2024

A twelve-page spread built on two colors and a lot of negative space. The client wanted “luxurious.” I gave them “quiet.” They kept quiet.

Also: gallery identity, two exhibitions, one rebrand
