  With his experience, artistic insight and passion for art, he started coming up with designs for his creations. Combining his fantasy with the artistic atmosphere in which he has lived in recent years. There was no boundary between work and play and he started building unlimited modes of digital mix media art. After his first launch in 2017, he made several series of limited editions, which sold out in no time.

  This was the beginning of Van Apple's artwork and his career. He took 6 months and released great new series.
