I create vibrant portraits of iconic faces, dressing my subjects in luxury and slapping logos all over them and around them because I'm tired of watching people give their power away to shit that doesn't deserve it. Religion, money, politics, brands, even family expectations—we let these things define us, control us, tell us what's valuable. My art strips that fake authority away by literally wrapping these icons in the very symbols that manipulate us.

When I dress my subjects in designer gear or surround them with corporate logos, I'm telling the untold story of how these forces actually work together to keep us chasing external validation. I'm obsessed with capturing the real energy behind these supposedly untouchable subjects, using bold colors and luxury elements to expose the whole game.

Pop culture, consumer culture, the fame machine—it's all one big feedback loop designed to keep us buying into someone else's vision of what matters. My work forces you to pause and really look at how deeply this programming runs. If you see my pieces and feel uncomfortable, good—that discomfort means something's shifting. But if you feel aligned, captivated, like you finally see someone speaking your language, then you get it. You're one of us.

Each portrait invites you to reflect on your own relationship with these power structures. The luxury, the logos, the bold compositions—they're not just decoration, they're ammunition. Every piece tells a story that needs to be seen and felt, not just understood intellectually.

Next Levels is about art that moves us through pain and into clarity. That’s exactly what my work is: a mirror, a call-out, and a breakthrough. It’s not meant to make you comfortable. It’s meant to make you feel—and maybe even see your own power staring back at you.
