Our Philosophy
We believe that art and creativity have no blueprint. Art is transformative and is shaped by, and adapts to the time and place of its creation. We aim to shine a creative light that reaches new locations and audiences by paving new paths that challenge the “norm”.
Creating is fun and we seek to allow all involved a chance to pass the torch, sharing the fun with others and inspiring them to share their creativity with those in their lives.
The Journey
Artdecypher is a fresh one stop shop for expressive art and merchandise that was started in late 2022.
After collaborating and connecting with like minded artists under the #artdecypher moniker, the missions to bring that same energy into other artistic pathways begun. Sparking new connections that have inspired creative growth into the future.
Future Vision
To create a retail and event platform that maximizes the collaboration and connection that first formed #artdecypher. Breaking down the boundaries set by international borders we seek to create global unity and opportunities for creatives.
We aim to stand with other creators and unite through passion, and the way we can interpret the world around us.
What does Artdecypher mean?
There are two critical aspects to the name that unlock our philosophy
The first is the "Decypher" (decipher) component. This is all about discovering, unlocking, and cracking the code of what makes you uniquely you. Art can be a puzzle that puts you on a rollercoaster ride. We encourage artists to be their true selves and find safety in being vulnerable. It is through creative expression that we can be ourselves.
The second element is the "Cypher". This is known for being a freestyle session between a few rappers or dancers. A Cypher typically goes in a cyclical motion and is an exchange of creative energy and passion that can inspire the next person.
Combining these two words we have created something that is a vibe, a statement and a vision we want to share with the community.

Born and raised in the Western Suburbs of Melbourne, Australia. Art became his refuge at a young age, a sanctuary for self-expression, and a means to confront adversity.

Artist Bio:
“I’d always wanted to see my sci-fi version of Australia, but I got sick of waiting for someone else to do it”. - Artstralis
Australia is a weird place, so why not smash a whole bunch of sci-fi crap into artistic depictions of it and make it WEIRDER? As a massive fan of both Australia (Melbourne in particular) and all things sci-fi I raised my hand and accepted the challenge that I made for myself.Specialising in digital art and illustration I aim to pack my pieces with as many details and Easter eggs as possible.

Watercolour portraits of your little humans, your favourite people, or the home that holds all your chaos and love.
Inspiration:
My kids (the chaos, the giggles and the stories in between), the tiny everyday moments that make a life feel full, and the book quotes + song lyrics that get stuck in my head and end up on paper.
Fun Fact:

Also, I’ve never met a potato I didn’t immediately trust.
Artist Bio:
Hi! I am a mum of two and I love doodling. I have never did a proper art training, so I am reluctant to call myself an artist. I started doodling to capture the precious moment of my mundane life. This include my motherhood journey and random special places I visited. I used ink and watercolour as my medium.
