"The loss and recovery of banal moments is the conclave of my work"

Facundo Kostelak, also known as FEK, is an Argentine artist, graphic designer and art director born in 1995. He currently resides in the vibrant city of Barcelona, Spain.

​

In 2019, FEK founded Zenda Studios, an online creative studio that has helped launch his career and has allowed him to work on exciting and challenging projects closely related to branding and visual identity for international brands, which is reflected in the art of him

​

The artist has exhibited his art in various exhibitions in Argentina and Spain, where he has demonstrated his ability to create unique and interesting pieces. His work has been recognized for its originality, its ability to convey emotions, and its use of color and shape. His works are in private and public collections around the world.

​

As a fun fact, this artist has only taken one art class in his life at the age of 10, and it was also his last due to the ridicule he faced from his classmates for his drawings, with comments like "that doesn't even look like a drawing" and laughter as he tried to explain what he had created. This, coupled with the knowledge that his mother was spending a lot of money on the class during a difficult time, made the young artist feel out of place and disconnected. It was then that FEK decided to teach himself and become self-taught, eventually transforming into a digital nomad and absorbing techniques from his father, who is also a talented artist whose main work is crafting artisanal knives.
