Get Familiar w. Denis Basler and Black Viper

An Independent Artist + Non-Traditional Art Brand

Nowadays anyone can found an online business, create an app, become a content creator or almost do anything we could imagine. But behind all the possibilities, what truly matters is the drive that keeps us moving. The State of Mind which occurs mostly at night and is triggered subconsciously. It's a rush of motivating thoughts, which make you feel like you're on top of the world.

I have always been a creative kid; for me, it has always been clear that the more creative you are, the more likely you are to reach the state.

BLACK VIPER [blæk ˈvaɪpəʳ] is a reminder of the transformative power within all of us, where each creation is born from something old, shed away, and reborn with renewed purpose. I want BLACK VIPER to both be the force that creates and the one that destroys — an eternal cycle that fuels the artist’s evolution and to inspire others to embrace their own transformations.

“There’s nothing I can’t do. I just haven’t done it yet.”

Inspiration

My art style is mainly focused on line art, with a clean, sketchy vibe. I use bold outlines and keep shading to a minimum, relying mostly on cross-hatching or small details to add depth. I always try to make the drawings comic-like. I've been told it's a mix of realism and stylization, but also a bit of a comic or tattoo-inspired style with only minimal color, focusing on mainly black ink.

My philosophy — See it, do it, master it. Never stop exploring, learning, or inspiring.

I am a self-taught artist and photographer, and I have been drawing for as long as I can remember. I loved to experiment with different styles and techniques, and I am always looking for new ways to freeze moments in time and create something beautiful.

My artistic journey began at the age of 10, when I started drawing my favourite cartoon characters and superheroes. After the recent pandemic, at the age of 15, I decided to take my art more seriously and started to work on my personal projects, such as drawing celebrities, movie characters and later my digital illustrations.

Through simple sketches, tutorials, photography, and consistent practice, I’ve developed a distinct visual style that blends line art, digital painting, and photo manipulation. My approach continues to evolve as I explore new techniques and push the boundaries of my artistic process.

I don’t draw to make perfect representations of reality. That’s what photos are for. I draw to create something new, whereas photography is about capturing the moment. Between these two worlds, I love to work on my personal art and projects, filling sketchbooks and creating whimsical illustrations very often based on my own interests and ideas and inspired by technology, cinematic imagery and fantasy characters. Besides drawing, I’m very passionate about travelling, cinematography and New York City, dreaming of visiting the city that never sleeps once again.

I am always looking for new opportunities to learn and grow as an artist and as a person. I am open to collaborations, commissions and new projects, and I am always looking for new ways to challenge myself and push my creative boundaries. I am excited to see where my art will take me in the future, and I am looking forward to sharing my journey with you.
