HI, MY NAME IS GILBERT HERNANDEZ

I’m an artist and graphic designer based in Los Angeles! Currently I am attending UC Irvine pursuing a degree in graphic design, but I have been a passionate artist since I was a child. My creative vision is inspired by fashion designers such as MUGLER + Iris Van Herpen, as well as music that ranges from pop + house + 80s goth.

When I am not creating art, you can usually find me listening to music on vinyl or drafting my next big idea!

2099

2099 is my brand, my universe where all my artistry exist in its full glory. welcome! here you'll find projects I've worked on in the past, feel free to explore!

The CREATURE OF DESIRE (a.k.a LXBRA) roams free and ventures throughout Los Angeles... It's not scared, it's excited. This is what happens when the portal opens and LXBRA steps into the physical world.

no longer the artist//now the entity (2023)

this collection of images follows the narrative of the artist, the vessel, and the creative influence. 2099 is a multiverse of thought and creative conceptual thinking. in this realm inside the brain, in the depths of the caverns of the mind exists a spirit known as the CREATURE OF DESIRE.

this spirit is neither benevolent nor malevolent. however, it does ensue violence. this kind of violence is only provoked when the creative drive is at its peak and brainstorms become dangerous and immersive. through this danger, the artist (the vessel) reaches "cerebrum nirvana" (a state of ecstasy and satisfaction in one's artistic ability.

let your materialistic fears become beautifully vibrant images of self expression from the depths of your soul.

this is 2099... this is dominion.
