I created this work in 2024 as part of my ‘Precious Metals and Other Exquisite Waste’ collection.

I used crown caps and drink cans on MDF.

YES…

It took me five years to create this painting. Let me explain:

The technique I used to make this one wasn’t fully developed when I started creating. So, I had to develop it along the way by refining the colors and materials.

Which is why it took me so long. The work continuously evolved.

And Henri Matisse’s statement, “La couleur surtout et peut-être plus encore que le design est une libération” (Color above all, perhaps even more than design, is a liberation) played a big role in that.

It inspired me to free myself from all limitations and let the colors speak.

Duh 👇

Thanks to the metallic material, the work looks different throughout the day depending on the light.

So, if you don’t look at this work for a couple of hours and then you come back, it’ll look like a new work. It’s literally like owning multiple artworks in one! It always feels fresh and exciting. And you’ll never get bored of it.
