This wearable art collaboration connects Spanish street artist Belin with 11-year-old Indonesian student Azril, who drew what makes him feel at home: his favorite animals. In his drawing, birds and dogs come together in playful harmony — symbols of joy, loyalty, and freedom. Belin, celebrated for his postneocubist portraits and surreal sense of realism, instantly connected with Azril’s imagination. He reinterpreted the child’s animals into a striking design where urban art meets innocence, turning Azril’s love for his pets into wearable art that feels both powerful and pure.
Miguel Angel Belinchón, aka Belin, is a Spanish artist from the town of Linares. His entire career has been dedicated to pushing the boundaries of art as we know it. From mixing cubism with hyperrealism, to adding elements of street art and graffiti, he has experimented with every style under the sun and has developed an eye-catching and unique personal artform. He is even credited with triggering a whole new movement in the art world: Postneocubism. His works challenge the viewer’s perception of reality and offer a surprisingly fun blend of different influences. Thankfully, he was able to make time in his busy schedule to do a collab on a Face This T-shirt design.

Why Belin wanted to design a Face This T-shirt
“I was excited when I heard about the collaboration. It’s always an honour to be invited to share my work with new audiences, especially when it involves cross-cultural collaboration.”

Belin on Indonesian kids’ drawings
“Children see the world differently—they don’t limit themselves by thinking something is impossible or unrealistic. They just create. That kind of creativity is inspiring because it comes from a place of freedom.”
Belin about his collab
How Belin designed his Face This T-shirt
“Azril’s drawing was the foundation. I took inspiration from the animals he drew and integrated them into my postneocubist style, fragmenting them and reimagining them through my lens. The creative process was about balancing his vision of the island with my own interpretation, creating something that feels cohesive but still maintains our distinct voices.”
