When I became a father in 2014, something shifted. I began painting on canvas for the first time. That was also when I created my first “Chanel or Die” piece – drawn on paper and pasted up on a wall in one of Stockholm’s most high-end neighborhoods. That single piece sparked a series that would take on a life of its own – and eventually land in the hands of collectors around the world.

In 2021, three of my original paintings were purchased by Madonna. One of them later appeared in international press when she posed in front of it. It could’ve changed everything. It didn’t, cuz she didn't tag me. But that’s fine – I’m still here. Still painting. Still building something real.

My work often carries a socially critical edge. Sometimes it’s direct, sometimes it sneaks up on you. But it always speaks. It’s shaped by my roots in graffiti, pop culture, and a deep need to say something in a world that’s already too loud.
