Home Pink Home (2024)Acrylic painting by Mercedes Lagunas

This piece reimagines the iconic Pink Panther through the lens of urban pop expressionism, blending humor, nostalgia, and contemporary street art. The playful reclining posture, paired with chaotic brushstrokes, layered symbols, and graffiti elements, transforms a familiar cartoon figure into a symbol of cultural resistance and personal identity.

“Home Sweet Home” becomes both a literal and metaphorical anchor—inviting reflection on belonging, comfort, and the absurdity of modern domesticity. The crown, heart, and flower suggest themes of self-worth, love, and growth amidst a saturated, overstimulated visual world. I use vivid colors, thick outlines, and erratic marks to embrace imperfection, spontaneity, and emotional rawness.

This work is a celebration of freedom, pop culture, and the graffiti ethos: claiming space, telling stories, and daring to be seen.
