Maximilian Vermilye

Maximilian Vermilye (b.1993), also known as Max PhV, is a Swiss digital artist based in Geneva who specializes in psychodynamic photography, a conceptual approach to digital imagery that transforms moments into emotionally evocative works of art. With a Bachelor’s Degree in Photography from Webster University and certifications in General and Men's Styling from renowned institutions in London, Vermilye’s multidisciplinary background shapes his unique artistic vision, blending aesthetics, color theory, and storytelling.

His work has been exhibited internationally in Geneva, London, Seoul, and New York, as well as in the Metaverse through a 2023 collaboration with VoiceHQ NFT marketplace. In 2024, Vermilye will showcase his art at the CICA Museum in South Korea, Holy Art Gallery in New York, and Circular ArtSpace in Bristol, UK.
