Bloomberg Markets, 2025
The Wealth Issue (Vol.34, No.2)
Dexter Maurer 

Illustration by Dexter Maurer for Bloomberg Markets Magazine’s Wealth Issue, produced by Matheus Vo Ngoc in collaboration with Design Director Josef Reyes. The commission reinterprets contemporary symbols of affluence — from AI servers and cryptocurrencies to superyachts and humanoid robots — into a dense, baroque assemblage rendered in metallic gold. The result is an ornate yet subtly disquieting composition that reflects modern wealth’s opulence and fragility, bridging editorial concept and artistic interpretation for Bloomberg’s global cover feature.

As the Producer for this high-profile editorial feature, I managed the project from conception to final delivery. My key responsibility was project management, ensuring a seamless collaboration between the artist, Dexter Maurer, and Bloomberg’s Design Director, Josef Reyes.

I facilitated the entire creative process, which required strategic problem-solving to align the artist's unique style with the magazine’s precise conceptual and branding needs. A critical part of my role involved overseeing copyright clearance for referenced elements, mitigating legal risk for the publication. This involved meticulous planning and clear communication to navigate the fast-paced editorial timeline, ensuring the final illustration met both the artistic vision and the client's strategic objectives for their global audience.
