DEVIE- BOGOTA MURALISM IS AT ITS BEST
Since he was a child he showed interest in the arts and illustration but it was not until 2013 that DEVIE decided to take the leap of faith towards muralism when he was presented with the opportunity to show his work in New York. Since that year he has been conquering his native Bogotá one wall at a time, in more than 5 years of experience he has collaborated with major Colombian brands and has made his way in the national scene with his characteristic and versatile drawing style.
Devie or Luis Mendez as his parents baptized him has shown that he can go from creating graphic characters with his characteristic cartoon style that adapts to any concept or can also pose complete universes with its doodle style, demonstrating more and more that the mind of a Colombian artist has no limits and is as diverse as its own culture and landscapes.

As an artist, DEVIE has made his influences and his proposal clear, continually referring to the graphic wave brought by the hip hop culture of the 90s, which he admits be one of his main inspirations during his creative process and also seeks to communicate his fascination with the Devil and other pagan manifestations, which he transforms into colorful illustrations, full of personality that over the years has become his hallmark as an illustrator, one of those cases is the famous devil of Devie that we can see in several iconic points of the city from Bogotá.
This is what captivated us as a brand and led us to offer a collaboration with him, DEVIE is an artist with a strongly defined style. Related to the aesthetics of Cloud Ten, he is an artist with whom we share creative influences and who is also born from and represents in all his works the chaos and beauty of Bogotá, the city where we created ourselves as a project and which we are proud to represent.
For the collaboration theme we just wanted to let DEVIE loose as an illustrator by creating a response to 2 requests we made.
- Create your Cloud Ten cloud manifestation as a cartoon character
- Create the “Cloud Ten universe” in his signature doodle style.
And that's how the two illustrations used for the collab came about, which we later turned into T-shirts and Hoodies that are already on sale right here on our website and available for worldwide shipping or by visiting our authorized distributors in Colombia:
Medellin: Vida Augusta Store - Carrera 35 #8a-81.
Bogotá: Originario Store - Carrera 14a #82-16 second floor.
