Fake or Real No.1

73×55 cm | Acrylic, Oil & Pastel on 300g Paper
Signed and dated by the artist.

A daring self-portrait from the Pop Art Critical: Fake or Real collection, this piece unveils the fragile space between inner truth and public appearance.

The central figure, stripped of a smile, stands surrounded by winged zebras — bold symbols of yearning for freedom and the untamed spirit within.
Behind them, the word "FAKE" repeats like a silent scream, echoing the tension between survival and self-betrayal.

Rather than offering comfort, this piece calls for courage — inviting you to step beyond appearances and ask:
Where do you still hide? And what might happen if you set yourself free?

This original work belongs to the Pop Art Critical: Fake or Real collection — a bold artistic critique of authenticity, conformity, and the emotional cost of pretending.

One of a kind. Ready to hang.
Created with soul — for a heart that dares to feel.
