Surreal Illustrations, Street Art and Characters by Charbel Abuxapqui » Design You Trust — Design Daily Since 2007

Charbel Abuxapqui is a Mexican illustrator and surreal artist based in Mexico City, celebrated for his whimsical, dreamlike digital illustrations that blend humor, introspection, and fantastical elements into vibrant, narrative-driven compositions.

His style often features anthropomorphic characters, floating figures, and absurd scenarios—like creating imaginary friends or enduring migraines as cosmic events—rendered with bold colors and fluid lines that evoke a playful yet poignant exploration of isolation and creativity. Influenced by surrealism and personal experiences, his works appear in exhibitions, collaborations, and online galleries, with recurring themes of self-discovery and the inner world, as seen in pieces like “Come Fly With Me” and “It’s In You”.
