Iván Casís Jr. is a Multidisciplinary Artist and Architect born in Panama City, Panama, in 1979.
He obtained his Bachelor's Degree in Architecture from the University of Panama in 2006 before venturing to Buenos Aires, Argentina, the subsequent year to pursue a Master’s Degree in Advanced Architectural Design. During this formative period, he began looking for ways to fuse his lifelong passion for art, digital fabrication, and Architecture and this exploration ultimately culminated in the discovery of his distinct artistic style.
His work commands attention. Through the cryptic storytelling of his surreal geometric compositions, Iván engages viewers in an enthralling narrative, inviting them to navigate its intricate details and uncover the layers of meaning within every piece.
Upon his return to Panama in 2010, while still dedicating most of his time to Architecture, he began experimenting with CNC and laser-cutting machines to craft wall installations based on his digital drawings. This approach eventually paved the way for his first art gallery showcases.
In 2017, Casís Jr. moved back to Argentina, where he is currently based, to focus more on his artistic career. He began teaching himself how to animate his digital drawings frame by frame, and in March 2021, he started minting and selling them as NFTs. Since then, his work has been chosen to be featured in several physical-digital exhibitions including Exquisite Workers' Exhibition at 0xSOCIETY™ (Canada), Denver Digerati's Public LED Exhibition (USA), NFT Liverpool (UK), LABITCONF PremioB-Arte (Argentina), POESIA DE PROTESTA at Miami Art Week (USA), NFT.NYC (USA) and NFT Biennal at Rincon Projects (Colombia).
His art has also been featured recently in international publications such as EYAYAH! Magazine (Singapore) and The Light Observer (Italy).
