LA Lamp - Original Work

A Treasure Shared with Gratitude This online art product represents one of the most significant pieces from my experience in Los Angeles, a city that left an indelible mark on my artistic and personal journey. It captures the figure of the genie and the lamp in a unique way, recurring elements in some of my most representative works.

An Invaluable Design: This sketch is incredibly dear to me; it's a design I conceived during my first visit to Los Angeles in 2016, and it wasn't until my return in 2017 that it truly came to life in paint. Its creation is a testament to my special connection with this city and its influence on my art.

Meaning of the Artwork: This artwork delves into a symbolic play that reflects how I interact with the idea of the genie in the lamp and how I interpret my personal desires. Through this artistic representation, layers of meaning are unveiled:

  • The Extraterrestrial Octopus: The choice of becoming an extraterrestrial octopus as one of the wishes symbolizes the quest for uniqueness and individuality. It represents the desire to be one of a kind and to stand out in a world filled with singularities.

  • The Fast Food Menu: The request for a fast food menu, with soda and a hamburger, can be interpreted as a yearning to satisfy mundane and earthly pleasures, often associated with comfort and indulgence.

  • All the Gold and Riches of the World: The plea for all the gold and riches of the world reflects the desire for material abundance and prosperity. It is an expression of aspiring to wealth and opulence.

  • The Act of Eating the Genie: The act of wanting to devour the genie to obtain its powers is an intriguing metaphor. It can symbolize the struggle with ego and the desire for control and power over others. This part of the artwork could represent how ambition and greed can lead to impulsive and destructive actions.

Together, this artwork becomes a visual narrative that explores human desires, the pursuit of uniqueness, the satisfaction of earthly pleasures, the aspiration for wealth, and the internal conflict between ego and the desire for control.

Painted in an Iconic Setting: I selected this design to paint at the official Secret Walls LA venue, their headquarters in California. It was a profound honor to paint this piece in one of Los Angeles' most iconic locations, renowned for its exhilarating live art battles.

An Electrifying Competition: The competition at Secret Walls LA unfolds between two teams of three artists each, painting simultaneously for an hour. They work directly in black, with no room for error, under the expectant gaze of an audience and the energizing beats of a DJ. It's an event that has gained international recognition.

Embodying Los Angeles' Cultural Vibrancy: This artwork is a testament to the cultural vibrancy of Los Angeles and the thriving artistic community within the city. It represents the convergence of my experiences in Los Angeles and my passion for art.

A Treasure Shared with Gratitude: This online art product has been one of the most significant pieces in my personal collection. Its creation and preservation have been acts of love and dedication. Now, it's time to share it with the world and allow others to experience the joy and nostalgia it evokes. Although the decision to put it up for sale has been emotional, I am confident that this artwork will find a new home where it will continue to inspire and enrich the souls of those who admire it.

Image of the workspace in LA.

During that time, I lived close to Venice Beach.

The mural was painted on a metal wall.

People gathered outside before the live painting event began.

In action at the Secret Walls event.

60 minutes, only black ink.

I had the opportunity to share the stage with amazing people.

The venue was packed, the music was playing, and the crowd was screaming.

A great experience and mazing artists from Los Angeles.

Sharing the stage with them was an enriching experience, I still remember it with joy.
