Meet Arian Lori-Amini — The Artist Behind HYPNOTIQ

There is a particular kind of artist whose work tells you everything you need to know about how they think before you ever meet them. Arian Lori-Amini is that artist. The founding voice behind HYPNOTIQ XPERIENCE is, by training, a computer scientist with one of the most unusual shipping resumes in technology — product work that spans XBOX ONE, Microsoft Windows, Office, the Surface tablet, a life-saving heart defibrillator, and aerospace systems. By calling, he is a boundary-breaking sculptor and installation artist whose work has crossed three continents, earned Best Project recognition at Art Basel Miami, and built collector relationships in cities from Manhattan to Quito.

The HYPNOTIQ Practice

Under the HYPNOTIQ brand, Arian works across a wider medium range than most contemporary sculptors. The published catalog includes luxury pop art sculpture (the LUXE LOVE BAG signature series, the Companion Series, the Venus Series), large-scale plexiglass installations, mixed-media wall works in spray paint and resin, smart-mannequin sculptures with integrated Samsung Vision TV screens, and live performance art including glow-in-the-dark body painting on runways.

Art Basel Miami — Best Project Recognition

HYPNOTIQ has exhibited modern contemporary mixed-media sculpture and pop art works at Art Basel Miami — the most-watched contemporary art fair in the western hemisphere. Among that body of work, the Women Unite installation earned Best Project recognition.

New York — Fashion Week & Manhattan

New York City has hosted multiple HYPNOTIQ exhibitions, including live art showcases, luxury sculpture installations, and signature glow-in-the-dark body painting performances across Manhattan. The studio has also been featured at New York Fashion Week with live art and fashion-integrated installations.

The Engineer Behind the Artist

Few sculptors hold the engineering background Arian brings to the studio. As a computer scientist he has shipped at the scale of XBOX ONE gaming hardware, Microsoft Windows operating systems, the Office productivity suite, the Surface tablet, a medical-grade heart defibrillator, and aerospace systems. That combination — next-gen consumer console, OS software, productivity tools, premium hardware, life-critical medical devices, and aviation engineering — instills a rigor most artists never develop: design for reliability, ship at quality, test before deployment, and treat every joint as load-bearing. Add an AI focus on modern tooling, and you get HYPNOTIQ: pop art sculpture engineered with product-development discipline.
