Jesperish (Dutch, b. 1996) is a digital artist who builds symbolic, architecture-based worlds he calls the “ancient future”, blending monumental, ceremonial-feeling structures with a sense of advanced technology. Raised in the Netherlands by a painter mother and a musician father, he experiences synesthesia, seeing visuals when he hears music or feels strong emotion, and traces his melancholic, spiritual visual language to that sensitivity.
He began making digital art around age nine or ten, experimenting in Photoshop CS2 on his father's work laptop and creating fan art for online gaming communities. From 2009 he shared timelapse videos of his process online, building communities and organizing events to support emerging artists. He studied Multimedia Design and then Interactive Game and Architecture Design at Breda University of Applied Sciences.
