The Mechanical Paradise
I initiated a new series of oil paintings, just as the London lockdown started in spring of 2020. "The Mechanical Paradise" uses techniques derived from the old masters to create these surreal faces, combining heads with elaborate clockwork mechanisms and AI.

New prints of drawings on acrylic glass blocks. These freestanding Acrylic Blocks stand stably on any flat surface. The crystal clear acrylic gives the artwork an impressive 3D depth effect and doesn’t need any additional supports, stands or hardware.
