An iconic work is struck by an egg, but it is not an act of blind destruction. The color exploding across the canvas is not chosen at random: it is the same as the inside of the egg, as if the essence of the gesture were transformed into painting.
In Desecrated, the artist performs a visceral yet lucid intervention, where apparent vandalism becomes a new language. It is a challenge to the passive respect for the image that is “untouchable,” but also a generative act: from the impact arises a new balance, a new tension between past and present.
It is a desecration, yes, but sacred in its own way — because it transforms a primitive gesture into an aesthetic statement.

"It is never easy to classify one’s art; I try to convey what my eyes see, my way of seeing what surrounds me, and I rework it with a design that fits modern times: impactful and memorable."
