His work starts from an intentional contradiction: taking iconic characters from pop culture — figures often flat, designed for quick consumption and commercial nostalgia — and returning to them an emotional charge: raw, gestural, overflowing. The painting comes from within, unfiltered.
That visceral energy transforms these characters into something more adult, more broken, more alive. He doesn’t want to represent them as they appear, but as they might feel if they were human: fragmented, expressive, deformed by memory, by time, by what they mean in our collective imagination.
These works reinterpret pop art through the lens of expressionism, aiming to pull the viewer away from the aesthetic comfort of the perfect icon and return a living, imperfect, intense image.
