Under the Guest Artist initiative, the Impulse Awards annually collaborates with prominent contemporary artists to craft a unique visual identity for the ceremony. This initiative is designed to bridge the business community and the creative industries, transforming a corporate event into a cohesive artistic statement. The guest artist not only handcrafts a limited-edition series of original trophies for the laureates but also defines the aesthetic direction for the venue's spatial design, seamlessly integrating profound artistic concepts into the business context of the awards.
This year's Guest Artist is Alexey Kurbatov, a Barcelona-based multidisciplinary artist and explorer of pure form. Following a successful ten-year career in graphic and motion design, Alexey shifted his focus to abstract painting and sculptural objects, creating at the intersection of constructivism, minimalism, and industrial aesthetics.
