An artwork from my "Back from NYC" series -an oil painting capturing the timeless allure of a crumpled Coca-Cola can. This artwork pays homage to the ubiquitous presence of this iconic beverage in the bustling streets of New York City. As I traversed the cityscape, the sight of crumpled Coca-Cola cans scattered throughout the urban landscape sparked my imagination. Each can told a story of moments shared, refreshment sought, and memories made against the backdrop of the city that never sleeps. In this painting, I sought to capture the essence of New York City through the lens of pop art, transforming this everyday object into a vibrant symbol of urban life. The iconic red and white branding of Coca-Cola serves as a visual anchor, evoking a sense of nostalgia and familiarity that transcends generations. Through the lens of pop art, I seek to shed light on this dichotomy - transforming a mundane object into a thought-provoking piece of art that prompts us to consider our consumer choices and their environmental repercussions.
