Like all great artists, Tes One’s work is hard to quantify. If it was easy to sum up his style, then odds are it wouldn’t be that interesting, so instead he opts for an aesthetic that cannot be easily labeled. The artistic space where he feels most comfortable operating is one where a number of different disciplines co-exist. “That’s really when my signature started to present itself,” he says, “even to me.”

It makes sense then that the man who can straddle the line between street art and fine art—who can make seemingly disparate things like technology and nature not only co-exist, but inspire—is a fan of the Toyota Prius. After all, the Prius not only defined what a hybrid car should be, it redefined what any car could be, and is the perfect for any adventurous spirit. With the new 2016 model, Prius is once again breaking the mold in terms of both style and performance. With a modern interior, advanced safety features, and user-focused technology, it’s not only a stylish choice, but a smart one.

So whether it’s heading to a great meal or the great outdoors, to the hiking trail or to the gallery, the Prius’ ongoing innovation and continual reinvention have made it the perfect ride for wherever life takes you. For Tes One, who recently completed a parking garage installation with the fitting theme “Stay Curious”, that versatility is key. For him, both work and life are defined by some very simple but very crucial rules: “not to box yourself in, to find curiosity and let it inform you…and remain open-minded.” And the Prius ensures that anyone who shares in that curiosity will always enjoy the ride.
