Street art × comic

The volume is high, but what’s underneath is quiet.
01 — Universe
The cast
I work at the intersection of street art and comic, a visual language built around a recurring cast of characters I think of as my own universe.
-
01The Bunny
shifting between fluffy, armored and dreamlike.
-
02The Bear
a subverted care-bear with X-eyes and quietly defiant words.
-
03The Astronaut
a robotic wanderer with oversized hands and a head full of gadgets.
They all share the same DNA – wide empty eyes, a soft toy-like body and an emotional honesty that never asks to be liked.
02 — Work
The work
48 pieces, 2022–2026. Originals are one of a kind.
03 — About
The artist
How
I build my paintings in layers: a saturated background in lightning colors, a bold black outline on top, then a haze of graffiti tags, scribbles, and splatter that turns the canvas into something closer to a wall than a picture. Acrylic, spray paint, marker and oil chalk sit side by side – the same piece can hold a perfectly clean line and a deliberately messy one.
Why
Underneath the color and the noise, my work is about the feelings that are hard to name out loud. I paint my own emotional state and let the characters carry it, so that anyone looking at the canvas can find a piece of themselves in it. The volume is high, but what’s underneath is quiet. Fear, fragility, tension and the small moments of strength that come right after.
Where
I work out of my own studio and work across large-format statement pieces, small edition series and sketchbook studies where the characters first take shape.
