So Vasjen Katro started designing digital posters while writing music. He learned coding and UI and UX on his own from the internet and earned a degree in computer science and multimedia. Vasjen Katro had an amazing talent for software learning and a keen eye for graphics, and he gradually started designing covers for other artists and became a professional designer. Keep in mind that he had almost no previous design experience.

Vasjen Katro set up a personal Instagram account under the name Baugasm and started posting personal digital works. For two years, he kept up an extremely high frequency of updates – one digital poster every day! It was a challenge he had set himself. Once he accidentally broke two ribs, the first thing Vasjen Katro did at the hospital was ask his girlfriend to bring his computer to update his Instagram account. Of course, his efforts have paid off, and he has made rapid growth in these two years.
瓦辛·卡特罗在Instagram上以Baugasm的名字开设了个人账号，并且开始发布个人作品。他在两年的时间里，保持着超高强度的更新频率——每天一张！这是他对自己发起的挑战。曾经有一次他意外断了两根肋骨，然而瓦辛·卡特罗在医院做的第一件事，就是让他的女友带电脑来医院继续更新Instagram账户。当然，付出是有回报的，在这两年中他也获得了快速的成长。
Although Vasjen Katro himself does not consider his style fixed, his digital poster designs are still very recognizable. His designs are often abstract and bold, with a minimalist tone and large gradients of color, which together create a mesmerizing atmosphere.
尽管瓦辛·卡特罗本身不认为自己的风格是固定的，但他的作品依然具有非常高的辨识度。他的设计通常都非常抽象和大胆，基调是极简主义，色彩通常会采用大面积的渐变色，这些共同搭建了一种令人着迷的氛围。

Vasjen Katro once had a good discussion about his own style and the relationship between designers and style:
关于自身的风格以及设计师与风格的关系，瓦辛·卡特罗曾经有过很好的一段论述：
“ Personally I love colors, gradients, and typography, but I don’t like to call it a ‘style.’ I see it as a product, I believe artists and designers who have a certain style and get stuck with it, are boring. Their art or work will always be the same. I struggle with this a lot because I try to keep it fresh which is a challenge. I see it as a product, so I see it as something that has to evolve over time. Having a style is like getting married. I don’t have anything against marriages but you have to make a commitment and stick to it for a long time.”
“我个人喜欢颜色、渐变和排版，但我不喜欢称之为“风格”。我认为它是一种产品，我相信有某种风格并被它卡住的艺术家和设计师是无聊的。他们的艺术或作品将永远是一样的。我在这方面纠结了很多年，因为我试图让它保持新鲜，但这确实是一个挑战。我认为它是一种产品，所以我认为它必须随着时间的推移而发展。拥有一种风格就像结婚一样，我不反对婚姻，但你必须做出承诺并长期坚持下去。”
