Colm Dillane, the creator of KidSuper, has been a huge inspiration for me and for starting my journey as a creative. I had the chance to meet him in Los Angeles, and from that moment on I felt the inspiration and determination to share my art with the world. This artwork is a reference to the Bape x KidSuper collection.

I live every day inspired by the world around me, and one of my biggest sources of inspiration is painting portraits of real people. If the person I’m painting actually gets to keep the artwork, it makes the experience even more exciting for me. Personally, I believe people feel happy and moved when they see their own image turned into a piece of art. For me, the true artwork is the person themselves—I’m just the one who transforms that into a painting. It’s a really beautiful and meaningful feeling.
