Painting Subliminal Messages of Love and Peace
Zak Perez has had a passion for drawing since the age of four. Throughout elementary and middle school, Perez created his own characters and drew them in various settings. In high school, Perez was known for always carrying a sketchbook. During college, Perez began to take art more seriously and focused on refining his traditional and digital art skills while also pursuing graphic design as a profession. It wasn’t until after college that he finally picked up a paint brush.
In 2013, Perez painted his first mural, and this sparked a newfound passion. Two years later, Perez experienced a spiritual awakening and began to spend a lot of time learning and understanding the Bible. This newfound faith began to influence his life, and his art, his style changed drastically. He shifted away from drawing characters and landscapes and began to focus on calligraffiti, resulting in artwork that appears abstract or non-representational. However, upon closer inspection, hidden within the seemingly random strokes are messages of positivity and light.
“The originality and iconic nature of Zak’s work is what first brought him to our attention here at the agency.
Having reached out to Zak, what we discovered was a young artist with not only an incredible talent, but also a strong moral compass and sense of integrity, which we believe pervades through in the work itself.”

art is second nature
Zak Perez creates fine artworks that transform the world via subliminal messages of love and peace. Perez’s iconic style emerges from his spiritual transformation and blends his original poetry into visual art with his striking signature calligraphy. Perez also creates complex, multi-layered portraits of inspirational figures juxtaposed against jarring current events, in which Perez invites the viewer to reflect on how we might transcend our current reality of violence, tragedy, and apathy. Perez recently expanded into the arena of public art, creating murals in his signature style in order to spread his healing message to an even wider audience.
