“Micro Brains”, 2023
acrylic on canvas
Set in a nighttime corner of Via Paolo Sarpi in Milan, Micro Brains captures the chaotic energy and nostalgia of wild evenings shared with friends in a vibrant, fast-paced city. Beneath its vivid urban imagery lies a deeper critique — a reflection on the superficiality and conformity of the masses.
Inspired by the cult film They Live and the zombie genre, the piece draws parallels between pop culture’s dystopian visions and the numbing routines of modern urban life, inviting viewers to question what lies beneath the surface of the everyday.
