About the Artwork

In "Swan," classical techniques meet modern surrealism, exploring Marie Antoinette's historical legacy. She embodies opulence and individuality akin to icons like Marilyn Monroe and Princess Diana which is depicted as a regal and unapologetically extravagant black swan.

Inspired by Michelangelo's "Adam", the male figure suggests power dynamics and gender vulnerability, with a cupcake replacing the traditional apple and an assertive female stepping over his manhood.

The historic icon, Marie Antoinette, serves as the inspiration for his latest series symbolizing equality and reinvention.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVXzuAZCT6E
