Within these digital creations he uses bright and bold coloring, giving life to each short scene. These short scenes are often humorous, and can spark a sense of joy to the person who is watching it. There is a retro vibe to Karel’s work, which can be seen specifically in the detailing of his pieces, such as the older animation look and the old desktop computers that are featured in some of the pieces. He often uses a specific type of font when he has text in his work, and the messages that he incorporates are often to inspire and make bold statements about the current political situation. While Karel’s work is meant to bring joy, he is simultaneously bringing awareness to issues that are important to him with his dazzling creations.
