We had the good fortune of connecting with Andres Pirela and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Andres, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
For me it was pursuing what I loved, and in this case, it was creating Automotive Art. I saw other people doing it, and started to think: ”What’s stopping me from being like them?” And I decided to take action. I always wanted to create art around something, and I chose my love for cars and motorsport!

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
My art is all about passion for the automotive. I try to capture not just the beauty but the emotion and history behind. I think what sets me apart is my perspective, which I think all artists have a different way of viewing the world and expressing their art right?

One of the things I’m most proud of is how far I’ve become. As I mentioned before, I always loved creating art, and cars have been a lifelong passion, so combining both felt natural to me. All the late nights and early mornings helped me get here, but it wasn’t easy! Like many creatives, I faced lots of doubts, and wondered if I could make this dream of mine a reality. What helped me push through many of these moments was seeing others succeed, and asking myself, ”Why not me?”

One of the biggest lessons I learned was that action and consistency beat perfection. Nobody has everything figured out from the beginning, but you need to start! My craft has improved greatly along the way, I learned more about the business side of being a creative, and built connections with many like-minded artists.

What I want people to know is that Rapid Visuals is built on passion. Whether it’s a classic car or a modern hypercar, every piece I create is about celebrating automotive art. My goal is to bring car culture to life in a way it resonates with fellow enthusiasts and creators.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Definitely! When I think about those who deserve all the recognition and credit, I have to say thank you to my Mom, my Dad, my Brother and my Girlfriend! They were my day ones and pushed me to follow my dream.

Without them and their support, this wouldn’t have been possible.
