Original artwork description:

My work is a visual outcry amidst contemporary noise. I use chaos, color, and irony to explore the contradictions of love, consumerism, and identity in the digital age. In this piece, symbols of luxury, fashion, and social media intertwine with classical references and emotional gestures, creating a frenetic collage that reflects our obsession with the superficial and the immediate.

“L’amour est un oiseau rebelle”—“Love is a rebellious bird,” a central phrase in the piece quoting Bizet’s opera Carmen—captures the tension between authentic desire and the commodification of love. Iconography such as the Birkin bag, Chanel, TikTok, and phrases like BUY ME A BIRKIN or Where is the love? denounce the seduction of luxury as a symbol of affection or status.

The figures, somewhere between comic art, street art, and expressionism, are characters trapped in a narrative overloaded with stimuli. I use loose strokes, deliberate drips, and direct text to break linearity and create a spontaneous dialogue with the viewer. It’s a visual critique, but also a mirror: what do our icons say about who we are and what we value?

My art doesn’t seek answers, but rather to provoke questions. What is real in a world saturated with images and brands? What do we call love when it’s mediated by appearance and consumption?
