A surreal, hyper-detailed creature inspired by a hungry little dopamine molecule. Dope Mean bursts with oversized eyes, twisting textures, and a chaotic, fleshy form that captures the restless, craving energy of the brain’s reward system. Equal parts unsettling and playful, this artwork embodies the wild impulse of wanting “just one more” — whether it’s excitement, stimulation, or a hit of happiness.

A surreal, emotionally charged artwork that plays on the word depression—where the many intertwined arms represent how we, as humans, often trap ourselves in our own knots and cycles.

A striking blend of introspection and absurdity, Deep-Rest invites viewers to confront complexity while still finding reasons to smile.

A layered and symbolic exploration of Batman as both cultural icon and mirror of society. This artwork contrasts nostalgic admiration, modern satire, and the corporate forces that shape our collective mythology.

This painting invites viewers to consider not just a hero, but the cultural machinery and personal meaning -behind the mask.
