I create pop-surreal, symbolic with a playful meaning. My work turning simple elements like eggs, chickens,angels, peaches, and money into emotional narratives about identity, desire, and rebirth. I love building small universes where roguery ,humor and spirituality coexist, inviting people to feel, question, and reconnect with their inner world.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in contrasts like the pure and the superficial. Everyday life, social media, religion, consumerism, and personal transformation all feed my work. I’m especially drawn to symbols like eggs,chickens, hearts, bunnies, angels, and currency, representing birth, spirituality, and consumption. My emotions and experiences become visual stories layered with meaning.
What would you do with $25,000?I would invest in expanding my artistic universe into physical Merchandise. I’d also create limited collections and collaborate with local and global creatives to bring my characters into new spaces.
