Márton Tóth, a Hungarian designer known as Asio otus, blends graphic design with music, creating visuals that reflect the atmosphere of musical events. Starting by designing posters for friends' parties, Tóth emphasizes mood—ranging from warm and nostalgic to metallic and icy—in his artwork. His technique involves a disciplined approach to typography and effects that produces immersive dreamscapes. Tóth's preference for abstraction allows him to blur the lines between digital and organic aesthetics, resulting in pieces that often evoke tactile, almost skeuomorphic characteristics.
"That's how it started with graphic design for me, it's all connected to music, the experimental, and the club scene."
"I always try to do something that has a strong mood to it, whether that's something warm, ethereal, nature-like, nostalgic, or metallic, icy and dark."
"Overall I prefer keeping things abstract. I guess the tone depends on the individual piece; it can definitely feel very tactile, almost skeuomorphic."
"This depth is what defines Mártón's work, blurring the line between the digital and organic to create abstract and immersive new worlds."
