Pilar Zeta

Her efforts also include creative direction for Lil Nas X's debut album, Montero (2021), and Camila Cabello's "Don't Go Yet" music video, which received a Clio Award.

[1] She began to draw and paint at six years old,[2] with her mother (an art history teacher) being a "driving force" for non-traditional inspirations such as metaphysics, indigo children philosophies and the paranormal.

[2] With her brother owning a record collection, Zeta enjoyed investigating album covers used by bands including Pink Floyd, the Alan Parsons Project and Led Zeppelin.

[9] One of them included a GIF image she designed and it was found by Coldplay's creative director Phil Harvey, who commissioned a piece for the band's seventh studio album A Head Full of Dreams.

During the same period, Lil Nas X commissioned her work as art director for Montero and she was hired by Camila Cabello for the music video of "Don't Go Yet", which won her a Clio Award.

[23] The event was held at Los Angeles' Praz Delavallade and included "surrealistic landscapes, neo-metaphysical concepts, bold colors, and abstract shapes".

[24] According to her interview for Vogue Spain, humanity is entering "the age of the sixth digital sense, but we cannot forget we are physical beings", which is why the exhibition focuses on the "connection between these two worlds".

[25] She then took part in Miami Art Week once again by creating Future Transmutation (2022), a "large-scale sculptural garden" specifically for the path of "mathematics, astronomy and occult philosophies as creative devices".

[26] Presented in partnership with W Hotels and the Mambo Creatives agency, the setup was completely glazed in shades of purple,[26] which is considered by Zeta "the color for transmutation", as it is right "between red and blue".

[29] British magazine Dezeen described the setup as "a tribute to an ethereal and non-tangible space as her thoughts, represented and created on a digital world but [ultimately] materialized by rock".

[30] She has cited Studio Alchimia, Leonora Carrington, Hilma af Klint, René Magritte, Joan Miró and Mariko Mori as inspirations, with the third being a reference for the symbolic and the occult.

[3] Moreover, the artist affirmed her visuals are defined by "minimalist, surrealist landscapes, her bold use of color, and of deconstructed shapes", coining the term "mystical futurism" to describe them.

[34] In 2022, the artist began to explore with furniture designs at her own house, "playing with Feng Shui's principles and creating surrealist pieces that have function, but also a subconscious meaning".
