About Ricoglyphics
Hello, I'm Rico
I’m Rico, an illustrator and character designer creating artwork rooted in wellness, symbolism, and modern spirituality. Through Ricoglyphics, I build visual systems that explore presence, balance, and inner connection, designed to live beyond the screen and into everyday life.
Ricoglyphics Studio
Ricoglyphics is a character-led illustration studio developing contemporary visual narratives for licensing and brand collaboration.
Founded by Rico, the studio explores modern ritual, emotional presence, and symbolic gesture through restrained, design-conscious form.
Each body of work is developed with long-term licensing potential, adaptable across product, print, publishing, and spatial environments.
The studio works with wellness-led brands, hospitality groups, and cultural partners seeking illustration that balances personality with structural clarity.
Approach
Ricoglyphics operates at the intersection of storytelling and system design.
Rather than producing isolated artwork, the studio develops cohesive visual frameworks,
characters, motifs, and conceptual series designed for brand integration and scalable licensing.
Every collaboration begins with narrative structure and ends with considered execution.
The Publishing Imprint
In addition to licensing collaborations, selected works are developed independently under Glyphworks,
the studio’s publishing imprint. While Ricoglyphics focuses on commercial partnerships and commissioned illustration,
Glyphworks releases structured visual volumes as collector editions.
The imprint extends the studio’s visual language into museum-quality publications intended for private collectors
and architecturally led environments.
Licensing enquiries are managed through Ricoglyphics.
Collector and imprint enquiries are directed to Glyphworks.
Studio Ethos
- Clarity
- Restraint
- Continuity
Whether through licensing or publishing, each project contributes to a broader visual archive examining ritual,
presence, and balance within contemporary life.
Beyond Licensing
When I’m not developing artwork for licensing, I love illustrating characters purely for expression and storytelling.

A Few Personal Notes
Behind the studio structure, the work is informed by enduring cultural references.
Ancient Egyptian symbolism, where art and meaning are inseparable, continues to shape my approach to form and composition.
Southeast Asian culture influences the warmth, colour, and expressive rhythm present throughout the archive.
And quietly, the ritual of coffee remains part of the process, an understated companion to long hours of drawing and refinement.
