Welcome to the age of differentiation
If my work has ever seemed like it comes from different creative voices, that’s because I enjoy working in multiple styles (Read more about it in my Art book). I’ve always struggled with limiting myself to just one artistic approach, and rather than forcing a single identity, I decided to embrace them.
That’s where Zero comes in—Zero is my creative alias, a separate persona under which I explore different artistic directions. While it’s still me behind both names, this distinction allows me to create freely while making it easier for you to follow my work without confusion.
Clarifying My Two Creative Identities
I want to take a moment to explain the two sides of my artistic identity— me, Ciro and my pseudonym Zero.
Rather than forcing myself into one creative box, I’ve embraced two distinct artistic approaches. Ciro represents one side of my work, while Zero is the name I use for projects with a different style and focus. Though they are both me, keeping them separate helps bring clarity to my creative output.
As part of this new approach to my work in 2025, I’ll be sharing work as as both Ciro and Zero here and on ciroshop.co.uk. However, my Zero persona will be taking over the blog and podcast Le Sac Magique. Meanwhile, my Flow podcast and blog will remain under the Ciro name.
I truly appreciate your support as I explore these two creative identities. Who knows—there might be more in the future, but for now, two feels just right. 😉
Work by Ciro Correia: Ciro's artistic style is realistic, illustrative and painterly, with an underlying seriousness and moments of playfulness.
Work by Zero: Zero's artistic style is at times irreverent. There is a higher level of stylisation and themes in Zero's work as well as an exploration of 'pop culture'.
