IDOL Exhibition 2024
I have always been fascinated by the idea of ‘IDOLS’. What makes a mere mortal an iconic God-like figure in the eyes of so many?
In this collection, I decided to feature a mixture of influential, Inspiring, and sometimes controversial figures from the seductive and often fractured world of celebrity.
NEW YORK . MIAMI . BELGRADE
As the pandemic took hold, I braced myself and relocated to Florida, and started to visualise my IDOL Collection.
As the first lockdown loomed, armed with an array of painting materials, I embraced my new reality, my solitary existence.
Over the coming months, the ‘IDOLS’ became my distraction, my main focus, and my loyal companions.
