Voodoo People (2023)
Voodoo People is inspired from a music video of The Prodigy that also as the source of the name of the painting. Voodoo People frames the struggles of the human experience within the rat race of modern society. As part of the Artificial Hells collection, this painting offers a perspective of the perpetual challenges and unattainable expectations imposed by humanity upon itself. All the blindfolders, dreads, and barricade-like objects in relation to the figure refer to the sensation of never-ending struggle and unreachable standards put by humankind. These obstructions represent the never-ending challenges and untouchable standards imposed upon humankind, creating an atmosphere of perpetual frustration and exhaustion. Various brush-made textures and complementary colors and haunting darkness create a contrasting blend that mirrors the multifaceted nature of the human experience in a dynamic composition.

The Realm / Dreamcast 02 explores the enigmatic and artificial connections between individuals. In this composition intersection between falling figures creates a web of tension that stretches the heavens to the very ground. The painting portrays the idea of the Dreamcast, where human interactions and the line between reality and artificiality becomes blurred. The presence of the raven suggests a connection to the realm of dreams and subconscious thoughts while masks work as representing multiple identities. A cord, depicted within the painting, becomes a powerful emblem of the connection to the ground, representing the anchor to the real world. This cord not only serves as a lifeline but also conveys the fragility of the artificial reality in which these interconnected figures exist The use of numbers and stencils within the artwork further emphasizes the ephemeral and artificial nature of the reality portrayed. The surreal and hanged-looking composition, coupled with the symbolism of ravens, cords, numbers, and stencils, challenges viewers to contemplate the delicate balance between real and virtual relationships.

The periods grew shorter and shorter until they were gone altogether, replaced by an eternal night in which nothing moved and no image was seen but an endless succession of faint light that seemed to be coming from everywhere and nowhere at once...
