Based in New York and present internationally through publishing houses, cultural institutions and universities, the artist has developed a visual language recognizable for its symbolic power, meticulous detail and conceptual precision.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"409\" data-end=\"816\">From his studies at the <strong>Bezalel Academy<\/strong> to his long-standing relationship with the <strong>School of Visual Arts in New York,<\/strong> Koen approaches the image not merely as an aesthetic event but as a field of ideas. In his work, personal experience intersects with political commentary, while illustration expands beyond print, finding its place in digital platforms, objects, installations and large-scale public murals.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"818\" data-end=\"1026\">Of particular interest is his recent collaboration with <strong>AKTO<\/strong>, through which he connected with a new generation of creators in Greece, sharing experiences from the international artistic and educational scene.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1028\" data-end=\"1416\">In the conversation that follows, he speaks about navigating different artistic cultures, the challenges of contemporary illustration, the relationship between creativity and artificial intelligence, and the choices that shape the professional and ethical identity of an illustrator in the international market. It is a discussion about the power of images in a constantly changing world.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1028\" data-end=\"1416\">\n<\/div>\n<figure id=\"attachment_111230\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-111230\" style=\"width: 591px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-111230\" src=\"https:\/\/artviews.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/1-P1017403.72.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"591\" height=\"443\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artviews.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/1-P1017403.72.jpg 504w, https:\/\/artviews.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/1-P1017403.72-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/artviews.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/1-P1017403.72-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/artviews.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/1-P1017403.72-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/artviews.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/1-P1017403.72-265x198.jpg 265w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 591px) 100vw, 591px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-111230\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"markdown prose dark:prose-invert w-full wrap-break-word light markdown-new-styling\">\n<h4 data-start=\"1420\" data-end=\"1578\"><strong data-start=\"1420\" data-end=\"1578\">\u2013 Victor, as Chair of the Illustration and Comics departments at SVA, how do you see the profile of the contemporary illustrator changing in recent years?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"1580\" data-end=\"1800\">The main difference is that today illustrators work across multiple applications of their images. The image no longer lives only on paper. It can exist in print, online, in motion, on objects, or even on walls as murals.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1802\" data-end=\"1957\">This expansion changes the way we think about and design images. Illustrators are now called upon to work across different scales, materials and platforms.<\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"1961\" data-end=\"2051\"><strong data-start=\"1961\" data-end=\"2051\">\u2013 What was the most defining lesson you received from Bezalel, and what from New York?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"2053\" data-end=\"2183\">Bezalel taught me to work hard and to pay attention to detail. It was a school that cultivated discipline and technical precision.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2185\" data-end=\"2332\">The School of Visual Arts in New York pushed me to look inward. To express my deepest ideas and obsessions \u2014 even those that are difficult to name.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2334\" data-end=\"2433\">The combination of these two experiences shaped my direction and ultimately made me a professional.<\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"2437\" data-end=\"2570\"><strong data-start=\"2437\" data-end=\"2570\">\u2013 Your work often balances between political commentary and poetic allegory. Where does the message end and where does art begin?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"2572\" data-end=\"2641\">Art is always a message. It can be personal or it can serve a client.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2643\" data-end=\"2761\">The goal is to combine the two when possible and to keep them separate when necessary. That is where the balance lies.<\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"2765\" data-end=\"2909\"><strong data-start=\"2765\" data-end=\"2909\">\u2013 In an era when artificial intelligence can produce images in seconds, what do you believe is the irreplaceable value of the human concept?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"2911\" data-end=\"3079\">The irreplaceable value of the human concept is its uniqueness. Unlike the average that artificial intelligence inevitably produces, a human idea can be truly singular.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3081\" data-end=\"3195\">The creator expresses that uniqueness through their art and, when necessary, even through the use of AI as a tool.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3197\" data-end=\"3261\">Speed or quality is a choice \u2014 both for clients and for artists.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_111232\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-111232\" style=\"width: 504px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-111232\" src=\"https:\/\/artviews.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/4-IMG_2643.72.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"504\" height=\"378\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artviews.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/4-IMG_2643.72.jpg 504w, https:\/\/artviews.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/4-IMG_2643.72-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/artviews.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/4-IMG_2643.72-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/artviews.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/4-IMG_2643.72-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/artviews.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/4-IMG_2643.72-265x198.jpg 265w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 504px) 100vw, 504px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-111232\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">VICTOR KOEN<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4 data-start=\"3265\" data-end=\"3354\"><strong data-start=\"3265\" data-end=\"3354\">\u2013 How do you decide which commercial collaborations to accept? Is there a \u201cred line\u201d?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"3356\" data-end=\"3536\">For an illustrator who signs every piece of work, ethical red lines \u2014 especially early in one\u2019s career \u2014 can be a significant luxury. You can only afford them if you have two jobs.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3538\" data-end=\"3637\">I always made sure I had three.

Participate in competitions, become an active member of the professional community. Give and receive.<\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"4494\" data-end=\"4634\"><strong data-start=\"4494\" data-end=\"4634\">\u2013 How did you experience your collaboration with AKTO? Are there differences in the creative culture of students in Athens and New York?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"4636\" data-end=\"4788\">Our collaboration was excellent, and I am truly honored by the invitation. The enthusiasm and professionalism of the AKTO team are genuinely impressive.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4790\" data-end=\"4917\">It is difficult to compare the highly diverse and international profile of art school students in New York with that of Athens.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4919\" data-end=\"5138\">However, students everywhere possess energy, talent, resilience, anxieties, wings and superpowers that we older generations can only envy \u2014 hoping that sometimes they will allow us to protect them, even from themselves.<\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"5142\" data-end=\"5280\"><strong data-start=\"5142\" data-end=\"5280\">\u2013 How important is materiality \u2014 the object and the three-dimensional form \u2014 in what is essentially a \u201cflat\u201d art such as illustration?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"5282\" data-end=\"5339\">Materiality is something that interests me more and more.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5341\" data-end=\"5456\">For example, my new visual series is printed on silk, something that radically changes the experience of the image.<\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"5460\" data-end=\"5555\"><strong data-start=\"5460\" data-end=\"5555\">\u2013 If you could illustrate a global event of our time with a single image, what would it be?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"5557\" data-end=\"5694\">My role at the School of Visual Arts and collaborations such as the one with NASA have already fulfilled dreams I didn\u2019t even know I had.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5696\" data-end=\"5905\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">I believe that dedicating oneself to something as meaningful as education, combined with the continuous development of one\u2019s personal work, naturally brings unexpected collaborations and new visual adventures.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mt-3 w-full empty:hidden\">\n<div class=\"text-center\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div tabindex=\"-1\"><\/div>\n<div tabindex=\"-1\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"pointer-events-none h-px w-px absolute bottom-0\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-edge=\"true\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Interview: Zeta Tzioti Victor Koen\u2019s illustration has long operated on the threshold between visual poetry and sharp commentary on contemporary society.
