Description of the work
Yes, more cardboard. But this time, for a piece that is totally unique in ArtHugo’s journey.
I AM RUINED is the only work created by the artist in this format and composition on cardboard, making it a standout creation in his body of work.
ArtHugo brings together several icons of popular culture in a vertical scene full of humor: panic, money, frustration, and disillusion accumulate until the deliberately ironic title I AM RUINED – I am ruined.
The cardboard remains deliberately visible. Its creases, texture, and rough appearance contrast with the bold colors and instantly recognizable characters. Here, the medium is not hidden: it is an integral part of the artwork and its message.
The inscriptions RUINED, NO, OH, Give me credit! or Money Money? reinforce this narrative around money and consumer society, with ArtHugo’s characteristic humor.
A pop, quirky, and deliberately irreverent work, at the border between comic art and street art.
Original and unique 1/1, entirely handmade and sold framed.
About the artist
Hugo de Jesus Alves, known as ArtHugo, is a self-taught Belgian artist born in 1975 and creator of the Neo Pop Color universe, blending pop art, popular culture, street art, vibrant colors, and messages.
His principle: no support should limit creation. Canvas, cardboard, sculptures, helmets, skateboards, guitars, or iconic objects thus become fields of expression.
His work has been shown in Belgium and internationally, notably in Knokke, Brussels, Budapest, Vienna, and Dubai. He has also created works related to Formula E, Formula 1, and professional cycling worlds.
His career has been the subject of several appearances in the press, on television and radio. Photographs and articles accompanying this sale allow you to discover the artist behind the works.
His objective: to create living, accessible art that is immediately recognizable, capable of provoking an emotion, a smile, or a reaction.

Seller's Story
ART HUGO — POP ART WITHOUT LIMITS
I don’t just paint on canvases. I paint on anything that can tell a story.
Hugo de Jesus Alves, aka ArtHugo, is a self-taught Belgian artist born in 1975, creator of a universe he calls Neo Pop Color.
His work is a collision between pop art, street art, comics, popular culture, explosive colors, humor and hidden messages. His works attract first with their energy; then, as you get closer, the words, details, references and a second reading appear.
But ArtHugo refuses to limit art to a canvas.
Skateboards, helmets, monumental sculptures, guitars, forgotten objects or unexpected supports: anything can become a work. An ordinary object can completely change its value and story as soon as you dare to look at it differently.
This freedom has led him to present his work in Belgium and internationally, notably in Knokke, Brussels, Budapest, Vienna and Dubai, but also to create pieces related to the worlds of Formula 1, Formula E and professional cycling.
His journey and his creations have also been covered by various media, television, radio and Belgian press titles.
On CataWiki, ArtHugo directly offers a selection of his works: original pieces, 1/1 unique works and limited series coming directly from his studio in Belgium, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
Behind each work lies the same philosophy:
Art should not only be looked at.
It must provoke something.
Welcome to the ArtHugo universe – Neo Pop Color.
