Sugar Euphoria (Gummy Bears) 3, 2025

I am inspired by Jeff Koons and his sculptures with reflective surfaces. He states that his works are created with the aim of exploring art and their reflection in the world of media. Symbols that are deeply rooted in the collective memory of humanity. The desired sword, for example, with something that almost everyone associates with childhood joyful moments and carefreeness. Images that awaken generally accepted emotions – regardless of cultural or social affiliation. This idea provoked me to explore popular objects from our environment that often go unnoticed. But not only the objects themselves remain in the shadows, but also their material structures. In modern society, objects are no longer simply functional; they carry social, cultural and emotional meaning that shapes our perception of them.

In part of the work, I add a base of an airbrushed stencil, on which I apply screen printing to enhance the contrast and give dynamism to the visual perception. Through these methods, I explore not only visual but also conceptual depth within two-dimensional space, using angles that introduce different perspectives into the composition and challenge the viewer to see the subject in a new way.

The artwork is shipped professionally and ready to hang.
