Original artwork description:

This artwork is a vivid, chaotic, and layered composition that recalls the Neo-Expressionist and street art sensibilities of artists like Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring. Its visual language is raw, symbol-heavy, and highly referential, suggesting a deliberate embrace of visual overload as a means of storytelling or cultural critique.

The style is purposefully naive, using childlike marks to evoke immediacy and emotional authenticity.

The bright colors and comic-style figures mask a deeper, possibly critical narrative about capitalism, globalization, identity, and media saturation.

This piece It’s not meant to be interpreted linearly but experienced as a flood of cultural signals and personal icons. The viewer is invited to decode or simply absorb—making it a powerful, participatory experience. The artist clearly engages with contemporary pop and political culture, constructing a visual diary that is messy, loud, and profoundly of the moment.

Materials used:

Acrylic, spray paint
