International Mouse (2026)

Mickey—isn’t he the most famous mouse in the world? Of course he is, and my interpretation is meant to be a pure shot of pop culture energy! All smiles, my Mickey—with a mischievous look and wide-open eyes—this intergenerational icon takes center stage on this canvas with wild energy, where curves are everywhere. I reinterpret this illustrious mouse by playing with contrasts while staying true to its original color palette. The luminous azure blue background creates a dynamic interplay with the almost hypnotic depth of his large, textured ears. In the background, one of his expressions—“OH BOY!”—appears as a transparent overlay, like a graphic echo of the character’s joyful spirit. With its distinctive and decidedly retro silhouette, this piece does more than just decorate: it radiates good cheer and brings back our fondest childhood memories—yours and mine—with a style I wanted to be decidedly pop!
