Nissan Philippines continues its collaboration with internationally acclaimed Filipino artist Quiccs Maiquez.
The collaboration, which first happened at the Nissan Festival last February, has been expanded at the recently-concluded 10th Philippine International Motor Show.
Similar to the Z Nismo collab which reimagined Nissan’s design language through Quiccs’ visual style, their partnership further explores the connection between mobility, design, and self-expression.
The latest chapter introduces new artworks inspired by Nissan’s featured electrified lineup. Each piece adopted the same distinctive colorways as its corresponding vehicle, transforming Nissan’s design philosophy into works of contemporary art.
The collection draws inspiration from four vehicles displayed at PIMS: the Nissan X‑Trail e‑Power, Nissan Kicks e‑Power, Nissan Navara Pro Plug-in Hybrid, and the Nissan Primera EV.
Each vehicle presented a different creative challenge,” said Quiccs. “The X‑Trail e‑Power has a refined and adventurous character, the Kicks e‑Power feels youthful and energetic, the Navara Pro Plug-in Hybrid brings strength and capability, while the Primera EV represents a bold vision of the future. I wanted each piece to reflect those unique personalities while maintaining a cohesive visual language across the collection.”
The result was a collection that blurred the line between automotive design and collectible culture, showcasing how the same principles of form, color, and storytelling can inspire both vehicles and works of art.
For Quiccs, the collaboration represented an opportunity to explore the similarities between two seemingly different creative disciplines. “What excited me most about this collaboration was the opportunity to reinterpret Nissan’s vehicles through my own creative lens,” he said. “It’s interesting to see how the same design principles—shape, color, attitude, and storytelling—can exist in both automotive design and collectible art.”
While cars and designer toys may occupy different spaces, both are built around creating emotional connections. Whether experienced on the road or displayed on a collector’s shelf, great design has the power to inspire imagination and bring people together around shared passions.
For Nissan, the collaboration reflected a broader effort to connect with audiences through culture and creativity. “At Nissan, design goes beyond vehicles, it’s about creating emotional connections. Our collaboration with Quiccs celebrates creativity and self-expression, bringing together automotive innovation and contemporary art in a way that resonates with enthusiasts, collectors, and culture-driven audiences,” said Nissan Philippines President Yoshinori Kanazawa.
