I_KONIQ - The Mucha relax

I_KONIQ (1969) - (artistic name of Lijuk Crem) is a multifaceted artist who began his journey into the world of print and graphics in 1988. His career starts in offset printing, eventually becoming CEO of a major typography in northern Italy and tripling the turnover in just a few years, where he gains solid knowledge of printing techniques and visual dynamics.

Over the years, Lijuk has broadened his scope, exploring new artistic possibilities and ranging from pop art to visual reinterpretations of famous characters. His style is distinguished by a unique fusion of pop culture, references to iconic tradition, and bold use of colors. Just as Andy Warhol did with Campbell's cans, or Mario Schifano with Coca-Cola, Lijuk reinterprets familiar images, elevating the ordinary to the extraordinary through modern graphic techniques and visual irony.

Each of his works is a tribute to the iconography of popular culture, yet at the same time, I_KONIQ manages to imprint his own personal vision, questioning and reinventing the very idea of celebrity and visual icon.

Today, Lijuk’s work stands as a testimony to how graphic art can evolve, maintaining its strong communicative power while renewing it with a fresh and innovative perspective.

Each work is hand-signed on the front and numbered on the edge (white side of the border) so as not to spoil the beauty of the artwork as a whole but to give it its proper value.

The print is produced with the Giclée technique in 12 steps in Digital Fine Art on premium glossy cotton canvas 380 g/m2.

To preserve colors over time, each piece is produced and hand-varnished with a special treatment for light, to enhance colors and provide protection against deterioration over time.

Each artwork is shipped in a rigid cardboard tube to safeguard your new purchase and, in addition to the artwork size, includes a side border for mounting on the wooden frame, calculating a side thickness of 4 centimeters and a further outer border of over 4 cm that remains white for mounting at the back of the frame (not supplied).

All the works of our artists are the fruit of creative hands and diverse cultures, even though they all come together, blending into a unique harmony.
