ABOUT NUMBCHUX

I’m the artist behind NUMBCHUX. What started in 2007 as a robot character I created while experimenting with spray paint and custom stencils eventually became my creative identity.

Growing up with artistic parents, making things was always part of my life. That curiosity has taken me from spray paint and stencil art to acrylic painting, digital illustration, linocut printmaking, wood carving, woodworking, and clay. I’m always experimenting with new mediums, exploring what a material can do, and finding ways to make an idea tangible.

My original artwork moves between the bold energy of mixed-media street art and quieter, symbolic explorations of identity and personal growth. Texture, experimentation, and intentional imperfections connect the work, even as the materials and subjects change.

My Soul Riot series, created from 2024 to 2025, reimagines the iconic Air Jordan 1 through mixed-media collage and spray paint. Fragmented views of the sneaker come together across overlapping paper and exposed corrugated cardboard, surrounded by neon color, stenciled symbols, splatters, and drips. Drawing on the shoe’s connection to basketball and street culture, the series explores individuality, rebellion, and self-expression. Every piece also has a googly eye tucked into the composition, a playful detail to discover when you look a little closer.

My current series, The Art of Becoming, grows out of my interest in human behavior, Carl Jung’s ideas, and Stoic philosophy. Through symbolic imagery, pared-back compositions, and rough, expressive marks, I explore the parts of ourselves we understand, the parts we avoid, and the identities we build along the way.

The series considers the masks we wear, the patterns we repeat, and the difference between what we can control and what we need to release. Upcoming work will explore these ideas through imagery including masks, broken circles, and inner strongholds, reflecting on self-awareness, acceptance, and the ongoing process of becoming whole.

I’m creating this work as part of my own learning and self-reflection. Giving these questions a physical form helps me slow down, question my perspective, and sit with things that don’t have easy answers. My hope is that you’ll find something of yourself in the work and room to consider what becoming means in your own life.
