Born in Japan, raised in Germany, grew up in Virginia. Hey I’m Axel Hernandez, a creative based in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Growing up I witnessed my brothers getting into technical careers instead of pursuing their art passion. Seeing this made me start my IT journey in school. Somewhere along the way I discovered my passion for art, I started asking myself “How willl I stain the universe?” How can I not pursue my art career?

I learned to play the piano growing up, music has a huge impact on my art journey. Towards my senior year of high school I started learning music production and started curating my own tracks. Sometime after that I picked up a camera and saw a vision for my art and my visual arts and music brand. My heart is with Virginia Beach, this is where I discovered and honed my passion for art. Making art with my friends and local artists has truly been an experience.

Working with other local artists and creatives has shown me the importance of art. The escape from reality, the pride and passion to create art. How will you stain the universe? How will you etch your mark into our ever so expanding universe?
