Barbara Fontana Ozawa, known artistically as Barbara Foz, is a digital artist, creative director, and founder of the Eretikos Art Digital Lab. Her practice moves across digital art, fashion, visual storytelling, avatar design, and symbolic world-building, exploring the frontier between art and design in the digital age. Through works such as Dystopia, Miami Friday, and Abundance Cats, she creates poetic digital ecosystems where technology becomes a ritual tool: a bridge between imagination, ecology, identity, and transformation. Her avatars have been presented during New York Digital Fashion Week and the Monaco Digital Fashion Challenge, while her wider work investigates the emotional and spiritual potential of artificial intelligence, 3D rendering, and immersive visual culture. Barbara Foz’s art invites the viewer into a future where beauty, consciousness, and innovation coexist.
