Hi! I am the artist behind, Artem Vitae. I felt the need to give a short little description on who I am and why I chose to pursue art as a career. 🙂

In the grand scheme of things, I’m just a 20 year old music fanatic who turned obsession into art, but my passion became deeper than I expected. I’ve always felt the need to cheer people up. Now I use my art to try and do so.

I will never forget the first shoe custom I made for someone, just the idea of someone owning a piece of my art that we’re both equally excited for, gave me a sense of fulfillment. Artem Vitae is Latin, meaning the art of life, and I couldn’t have found a more perfect phrase to connect with.

 The way I grew up influenced the way I see life now. I see how much impact art, music, and human interaction have. My inspiration has always come from music, culture of the bay area, and how I feel! I hope to turn this into something bigger one day and really impact others.

If you read all of this, it was nice meeting you, I’m always just an email away! -AV/LL
