Sol de Janeiro commissioned Bernardo to design its race car for GP Explorer, the annual automotive competition in France. Creating a custom Formula 4 design for a global brand? All in a day’s work for this Argentinian artist.

Partnering with Ex-Machina, Bernardo brought Brazilian beach vibes to the world of motorsport – and made it look easy. With tilted lines and tonal transitions, the bodywork was a perfect fusion of brand essence and event intensity.

His first time designing a racing car, it was a thrilling change of gears for the artist. “I was really excited to expand my style into something I've never done before. My work reflects a lot of energy and speed, so this was a perfect blend for me.” With Bernardo in the driving seat, Sol de Janeiro brought true dynamism to the track.
