Saibōgu Kunoichi

Offset Stencil Painting in a Refinished Frame

Saibōgu Kunoichi/2022/Refinished Frame/Laser Cut Wood/10 Layer Acrylic Stencil Painting/21″ x 22.5″

“Saibōgu Kunoichi” is a stunning stencil painting, meticulously created through laser-cut techniques, which transforms a discarded dumpster into a work of art. Offset in a beautifully refinished frame, this artwork brings to life the mystique of the Kunoichi, the female ninja of ancient Japan.

The piece captures the duality of their character, showcasing both their strength and grace. Through the intricate stencils and thoughtful use of colors, “Saibōgu Kunoichi” tells a story of empowerment and resilience. The juxtaposition of bold, dark shades against delicate, intricate patterns reflects the Kunoichi’s ability to blend into the shadows while retaining their unique identity. This artwork is not just a visual representation of strength and subtlety; it’s a testament to the transformative power of art.

POP ICONS

MACHINE CUT STENCIL PAINTINGS

The “Pop Icons” series is a vibrant and captivating collection of stencil paintings that pay homage to some of the most iconic figures in popular culture. With an innovative approach, I employ machine-cut stencils to bring precision and intricate detail to life on MDF canvases.

The result is a fusion of art and technology, where each stencil is a testament to the skillful synergy of human creativity and machine precision. Bold, bright colors take center stage in this series, infusing the portraits with a dynamic energy that mirrors the charisma and impact of the pop culture icons they depict.

“Pop Icons” is a celebration of the influential figures who have left an indelible mark on our world, portrayed through a unique fusion of artistic craftsmanship and contemporary technology.
