Artwork Description

Acrylic on canvas board

Signed on the front.

A fun little study, this painting features a swallow perched on a branch. The bird is rendered using rough bold stroke to capture basic shapes and details of its body while allowing the gradient of warm colours to do that talking. 

The background contrasts sharply with the bird, filled with dynamic graffiti in gold and black adding a sense of depth and movement.

This painting contrasts classical art with modern street aesthetics. At its center is a grayscale bust of an ancient, bearded man. The statue is reminiscent of classical sculptures, but it has a bold black "X" painted over one eye, with paint dripping down, giving it a defaced and edgy look. The left side of the head is partially fragmented, adding a sense of decay and urban grit.

Behind the bust, the background is filled with vibrant graffiti in pink and orange, with swirling tags and patterns. This graffiti backdrop highlights the tension between the timelessness of classical forms and the raw, fleeting nature of street art. The painting uses spray paint and acrylic on a canvas board, blending these elements to create a striking visual and thematic contrast.This painting depicts Cupid, the mischievous Roman god of love, in a vibrant and modern street art style. He is painted in bold shades of pink and orange, with a playful and cheeky expression on his face. Cupid holds a finger to his lips in a "shh" gesture, suggesting a secret or playful mischief.

The background is an energetic explosion of graffiti elements, with colorful tags and stencils in shades of pink, blue, and yellow. Prominent graffiti text includes phrases like "Junglist Network," adding to the urban, rebellious vibe of the artwork. Cupid's wings and body are adorned with fish-scale patterns in turquoise, adding an additional layer of texture and depth.

Drips and splatters of paint are scattered throughout the piece, giving it a raw and dynamic feel, characteristic of street art. The overall composition is both playful and edgy, blending classical mythology with contemporary urban culture.In this painting, titled "WOOF," a burst of colors catches the eye against a background of graffiti scibbles. The central focus is a balloon animal dog, rendered with spraypaint. It stands proudly, emanating a sense of joy and playfulness.

The scene is simple yet impactful, reminding viewers to find happiness in the small moments and to appreciate the beauty that can be found even in the midst of urban chaos.

Using a combination of spray paint and acrylic, I attempted tp create a vibrant and warm atmosphere, adding depth and character to its surroundings. I try to capture the essence of urban charm in a delightful and engaging way, inviting observers to experience the city with a sense of wonder and lightheartedness.In "CUPID" you feel the energy of a city pulsing through the canvas. Picture Cupid, the symbol of love, standing tall amidst a lively mix of spray-painted colors and graffiti writing. Cupid's playful expression and poised bow suggest action about to unfold. The background is a chaotic yet vibrant blend of graffiti, a testament to the enduring power of love in a busy world. It's a scene alive with movement and emotion, where even amidst the city's hustle and bustle, love shines through.
