‘We believe that creativity, optimism & originality are key elements in life, and we apply
the same philosophy to our designs. As image-makers, we enjoy navigating the blurred lines
between graphic design, illustration and set design. We aim to evolve, transform and transcend.’

Esther JL Noben is partner & art director at , a graphic design agency in Ghent.
Toykyo’s designers share a passion for eye-catching visual designs that exude positivism and strong identity.

Esther's artistic canvas is digital. With the computer as the main medium, she looks for so-called digital errors ; beauty flaws that contain a powerful aesthetic. It results in animations, projections and colourful visuals where geometry, deformation and evolution go hand in hand.

Victor Verhelst studied Graphic Design at LUCA school of arts in Ghent, after which he engaged himself in commissioned and autonomous work as a designer and artist. As a (graphic) designer, illustrator and typographer, he is obsessed with colours and their healing power.

The distortion and juxtaposition of 2D and 3D image planes in the creation of figurative colour combinations characterizes his graphic work. Printed matter – from digital to 3D, from risography to textile – forms his starting point, always working with the relationship of the materiality to the pre-made (digital) image.

Victor is represented by Plus One Gallery / Jason Poirier dit Caulier.

Be sure to come and check out his work in our Experience Zone on June 9th!
