POP ART SERIES
SACRED ANIMALS
To me, animals are pure magic. They've got these instincts and sensitivities we humans forgot we had while arguing on the internet. They're smart, raw, and totally unapologetic about being themselves. It's inspiring. Honestly, I trust a deer's gut feeling more than half the people on LinkedIn.
So yeah… spray paint, stencils, street vibes—and a lot of love for our furry, feathery, and mystical friends.
Let's get wild (in the most peaceful way possible). One world. One love. 🐾
CARTOONS & COMICS
In Cartoons & Comics, I dive into the collective memory bank of our childhoods—where cartoon icons and comic book heroes live on forever. Think Pinocchio, the Pink Panther, Mickey Mouse, Snow White… familiar faces we all grew up with. But here, I've taken them out of their usual worlds and dropped them into strange, surprising new settings.
Want to know more? Or have a character you'd love to see twisted into my world? Don't be shy. Let's talk.
TALKING HEADS
In this series, Talking Heads, I zoom in—literally—on human emotion. Working by hand with stencils and a signature Ben-Day dot grid, I blow up expressive faces to bold, almost confrontational scale. Stripped from their original context, these faces start to speak in a new language: mine.
Let's make something that speaks your language.
TWISTED REALITY
In Twisted Reality, I dive headfirst into the vibrant world of pop art, bending familiar icons and commercial imagery into something a little darker, a little funnier, and a lot more thought-provoking. Through hand-painted elements and screenprinting techniques, I appropriate and subvert visual culture—adding a dose of satire and symbolism to what might otherwise feel ordinary.
Twisted Reality doesn't just remix the icons of our culture—it flips them, distorts them, and dares you to look twice. Because in this circus of consumerism and image, what's real is often the illusion.
HISTORICAL ICONS
I've always been fascinated by people who left a trace in this world—whether by doing something extraordinary or simply by being unapologetically themselves. Icons like Marilyn Monroe and Julius Caesar continue to inspire generations, not just through their fame, but through the sheer force of their personality, presence, and impact. They stay alive in our collective imagination, whispering stories of boldness, vulnerability, power, and charm.
Call it irreverence, call it respect—I call it love for the brilliant, the brave, and the beautifully flawed
