David Marinos is a sixteen-year-old artist of Greek-Ukrainian heritage. Living between Greece and Bulgaria, the youngin’ has already spent years honing in on his aesthetic, undoubtedly the result of the heritage he shares with the art-historical canon. Unlike the ancient Greeks, however, Marinos sculpts his figures with the slice tool, and paints them in glitched-out neon.

Beyond his personal practice, Marinos keeps up with numerous side-projects. Recently, he has collaborated on a streetwear line called Icey, in which signature designs are screen printed onto cotton basics. The designs are sophisticated and precocious, and sometimes, even morbid. And the models? Straight-up teenage.

Marinos is also the founder of Lucent Kids, a collective of young digital artists who share the digi-minimalist aesthetic that has come to be synonymous with the Tumblr platform. With a selective process for accepting new artists into the collective, Marinos proves that he not only has a talent for creation, but also an eye for curation.

Beyond his prodigious talent, Marinos has an advanced understanding of himself as well as the world around him. His awareness is evident in the way he juxtaposes natural subjects with computerized textures, surreal colors with basic lines, and Classical figures with modern icons. The subjects may be referential, but the execution is always forward-thinking.
