About

Musketon is the creative alias of Belgian artist Bert Dries (b. 1989).

A child of the internet age, he grew up immersed in online culture, shaping a practice that merges art and technology into razor-sharp vector work.

His pieces draw on pop culture and current events, mixing bright visuals with a critical take on consumerism and digital life. With early collaborations from global brands to independent projects.

Musketon has developed a distinctive style that blurs the boundary between digital and traditional art—challenging viewers to stop scrolling and start thinking.

Musketon is a visual artist, blending tech and culture.
