Paul Fuentes Design is owned by husband-and-wife duo Paul and Ilse Fuentes. Paul grew up in Mexico City where he worked as a graphic designer and started his fascination with manipulating images for fun. It’s 2015 when Paul opened his Instagram account @paulfuentes_design to share his minimal mashups in which he combines the best of two artistic movements and transform them into pastel-coloured compositions. French surrealism and the culture of Pop Art. That same year, Paul met the Dutch Ilse in London. They fell in love and travelled back and forth between 'his' Mexico and 'her' Netherlands for a long time. With her background in media, entertainment, and management, she made the perfect fit to the team and joined as a creative member. They now work and live in the city where it all started: London. They are photographers, directors and thinkers and create mash-ups of food, animals and everyday objects that they merge into a surrealistic, humorous whole without mercy. If it’s a Disco Snail or a Floral Pizza, it’s their goal to get a smile on your face!
