Karan Singh on finding the creative balance
Australian artist and illustrator Karan Singh describes his career path as a personal project that just got out of hand.
Aceptamos:
Carga con una curiosidad por el arte, los viajes y el deseo de la iteración constante.
Es difícil ver el trabajo de Karan Singh y no ver a un artista que encuentra la felicidad en todos los rincones del mundo. Este ilustrador ha vivido en Ámsterdam, Nueva York, Tokio, Malmoe y Melbourne, y siente una gran curiosidad por la forma en la que la gente vive, se mueve y se relaciona en diferentes lugares. En Bellroy nos conectamos al instante con Karan al conocer su perspectiva global y la curiosidad que lo lleva a estar siempre aprendiendo e iterando.

Karan es el tipo de ciudadano global para el que diseñamos muchos de nuestros productos. Valora la libertad de movimiento y prioriza la funcionalidad y longevidad de las cosas que lleva con él. Aunque compartimos muchas cosas con él, nuestro deseo mutuo por explorar es quizás lo que le otorga el mayor potencial a nuestra colaboración.
“I like to learn, and am constantly looking for ways to push things. Both in my craft and in life. Any time I get to work on a collaboration it is just that – a collaboration, where I can learn more from working with other people. I consider myself a work in progress. And I will be for as long as I am doing this.”
“Because I’ve traveled and moved so much, the things that I want to rely on need to last. I can’t take all the things with me, so I’d rather take one thing that works functionally for my life and will last no matter the scenario. My oldest Bellroy is the [since retired] All-Conditions Essentials Pocket that I got about six years ago, it’s been a really trusty accomplice and hasn’t shown any signs of wear – it’s just built character”.
