Everyone is an Artist (Tokyo)

This is my witty tribute to the working women of Japan, titled after Joseph Beuys’ paradigm. Showing a silhouette of a cleaning lady pouring out a bucket and recreating “The Great Wave Off Kanagawa” by Hokusai.

Shark-fin Soup (Tokyo)

This is a work that makes use of the classic anime aesthetics to camouflage a critique to a reality much less kind: the genocide of a specie (Sharks) for which Japanese consumers are not the only but the most responsible for. A sea predator that emerges in the city revealing a human bite on its dorsal fin.

Gulliver (Tokyo)

Using an icon of Japanese culture that I have always felt interest in, as the Bonsai, I wanted to make a surrealistic work that plays with scale of different elements.

Seppuku (Tokyo)

I originally conceived this as an indoor painting some time ago. I made this sort of tribute as a manner of thank you to the Japanese culture for the inspiration that drove me to create it in the first place.

Iron Curtain (Seoul)

This work represents a contradiction in and of itself. As a trompe l’oeil we see a semi open curtain that instead of being hold by a tie, it’s oppressed by a real metallic lock. A gentle open door locked inside a tough steel door.

Transfer (Seoul)

Icarus (Seoul)

Tagger (Hong Kong)

In China the Dragon is a symbol of strength and power. This ferocious mythical animal, that can cause hurricanes and floods, becomes a domesticated pet sending out the universal love message.

The Re-Thinker (Hong Kong)

The idea behind it is that because of lack of time and space, the rhythm of the city, it seems like locals are not being left to think for themselves. Rodin’s Thinker contemplates this mega city, from the skyscrapers, reminding people to stop and re-think.
