Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Cesar Lazarus. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Cesar, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today We’d love to hear about a project that you’ve worked on that’s meant a lot to you.
Highframe so far has been the most meaningful passion project I ever worked on. From its humble beginnings as a curation account online, it has grown to be an extension of me as both an individual and also a human on this planet.
I started this journey on New Years Day in 2024 and as of the time of this writing, I regularly speak with so many talented creators and students every day. Highframe is the central point of a growing ecosystem within it, with plans for fashion, fine art, architecture, music, film, and much more. I take it one day at a time.
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.
My name is Cesar Lazarus and I am a digital artist, graphic designer, and founder of Highframe.
As of the time of this writing, my career as a creator will be 5 years in. Coming from entrepreneurial parents, I have met artists from the local community to international superstars, learning from each of them. This has resulted in my work being versatile and mass appealing. It gave me the opportunity to appear in Times Square, be recognized by Adobe, be published in blogs, and even have work appear on a music video on YouTube with over a million views.
I offer web and graphic design services, creating logos, flyers, music cover art, painting commissions, and launching websites for clients. I also founded and run Highframe, a long-term art project that will span fashion, fine art, music, architecture, and more.
Is there mission driving your creative journey?
I would say for Highframe, the goal would be to cultivate a community of creative individuals to inspire each other. That’s what motivated me to start the project as a curation page and let it grow over time to other forms of media.
I aim to share a simpler way to grow as creatives that doesn’t end up being corporate. Sharing a vision that lasts beyond the initial creations is something I would love to see come out of this.
Do you think there is something that non-creatives might struggle to understand about your journey as a creative? Maybe you can shed some light?
Being a creative individual requires you to be attuned to feelings, which can either be a path to enlightenment or a thorny road to self-destruction. It depends on one’s upbringing and beliefs instilled not only from our childhood, but also from the environment we live. We make ourselves vulnerable every day for the people who tune in, subjecting ourselves to the world that may or may not accept us.
There’s this existential battle to rebel and break free from the old ideas and embrace new ones, but are those ideas our own or another space to conform to? So many creative people wish to undo the chains and roam free, but reality only allows us to conjure an illusion of said freedom, until eventually it turns into a cycle of highs and lows.
Perhaps as a creative myself, the Highframe project is my journey to unlock this freedom, or at least the feeling of it. Whatever it is, I only take it one day at a time, staying grounded in a world where synthetic satisfaction is just one click away online.
