NUMERO ART JULY 2025 | ILIAS WALCHSHOFER

For Numéro Art Magazine, illustrator and visual artist Ilias Walchshofer explores the complex relationship between contemporary artists and fashion. Through a series of AI-assisted illustrations and animations, he imagines how clothing, attitude and silhouette reflect artistic identity. Each look becomes a psychological portrait, a visual archetype that blurs the line between style and self-expression. Using a mix of digital drawing and compositional photography, Ilias transforms garments from major fashion houses into living characters that echo the personality of today’s creators. His visual language, both minimal and poetic, celebrates individuality and questions how image and appearance shape the perception of art and the artist.
