MEET THE ARTIST
FULALEO is a Colombian artist based in Melbourne, Australia, with a deep love for all things retro, music, Japanese culture, and pop culture. These passions are the core ingredients that inspire and shape his unique art, blending nostalgia and creativity into every piece he creates.
“I’ve always been into cartoons, anime, and also streetwear, and I love how characters and stories bring everything to life. Japanese anime and manga, with their cool art and deep characters, really got me hooked. In my teens, I started getting into streetwear, especially the way some brands mix culture and design so effortlessly. Seeing how creators build whole worlds around their designs inspired me to do something of my own. That’s how TINYKOL came to be, a mix of my love for animation, streetwear, and cultural expression.” - FULALEO
