My work is about identity, power structures, norms and beauty ideals, where dreams and reality do not always coincide. I get ideas for my paintings from popular culture, movies, music videos, Instagram, and the millennial generation I’ve grown up and matured with. I want to paint topics that rise above the everyday life through sleek surfaces, intrusive motives and vibrant, syrupy colors.
