About this artwork

Oil, collage, spray on canvas | 60 × 90 cm | 2026 | Unique work

WOLF. is a mixed-media work inspired by the cultural mythology surrounding excess, ambition, and the modern cult of success, as popularised by The Wolf of Wall Street.
Layered imagery, fragmented cinematic references, and aggressive painterly gestures construct a visual narrative of desire without limits — where money, power, and identity collapse into spectacle. The composition operates between glamour and moral erosion, exposing the seductive violence of unchecked ambition.
Executed on a large-scale surface, the work confronts the viewer with a contemporary icon not of virtue, but of appetite — a portrait of desire in its most unapologetic form.
