Come and immerse yourself in a Parallel Universe to Our Own—the Multiverse of artist Zariel! Zariel is a visual artist, art director, illustrator, and graphic designer based in Paris, specializing in science fiction. Trained in printing and desktop publishing from the age of sixteen, he retains a deep attachment to paper and print finishing—a connection that infuses his entire practice, even when it ventures into the digital realm. He has illustrated over a hundred book covers and directed various publications and exhibitions, including the collector’s edition of La Horde du Contrevent for La Volte. He frequently collaborates with publishing houses, brands, and musicians, working across both print and moving image media. Since 2024, he has been developing UPDN (Univers Parallèle Du Nôtre / Parallel Universe to Our Own), an empathetic multiverse where fiction precedes science and where the artist constructs a system of thought disguised as pop mythology. FIAT LUX, presented at the ZazafromBrussels gallery, represents the latest journey into this world. FIAT LUX brings together two parallel universes within a single space: on one side, The Dogmatic— a series of colorful, fantastical, pop-style stained-glass works inspired by Jamie Hewlett; on the other, The Emotional — figures in black and gold, driven by doubt rather than demonstration, in a tribute to Alberto Breccia. Fiat Lux does not merely recount a world; it proposes one, leaving you to declare your own... “FIAT LUX” – Zariel Opening: Thursday, September 24, 2026 – 6 PM to 9 PM Exhibition: September 24 to October 18, 2026
