“The world of Arch Budzar’s work is one where plants teach you about the pain that comes with growth, and where flying demons remind you it’s okay to cry – literally. ”
“And while they use bold lines and bright colors, each piece is entangled with vulnerability. While scrolling through Budzar’s feed, you’ll be transported into a state of childlike curiosity by the colors, themes, and characteristics...it’s clear that people are craving this youthful aesthetic.”
