The Madrid-based 3D artist, working as CESS Studio, has built The Artphabet, a complete set of 26 letters, each a digital sculpture channelling the visual universe of a different celebrated artist. Mondrian’s rigid geometry, Dalí’s melting surrealism, Basquiat’s raw urgency, and Kusama’s infinite dots.

What makes the project sing is Cid’s refusal to simply texture a letter with someone else’s style. Each character becomes a genuine object — form, colour, and material all transformed to inhabit that artist’s world completely. The letter is merely the armature; the sculpture is the homage.
