Working with another artist and creating collaborative pieces of work has been a truly inspiring and exciting process. When Fanoulla and I decided to bring the “Us2” project to life, I knew it would be a journey, but I didn’t realize how deeply it would change my approach to painting.
Knowing exactly how Fanoulla works and what inspires her made this entire experience incredibly enjoyable. From the very first stroke, it was almost as if we knew what each other’s moves would be without any words spoken or any advice given. We developed a silent, intuitive language.
For me, the most beautiful part of this collaboration was how it completely took the pressure off the need to create a “flawless” piece of work. Instead of overthinking, we just let the process determine where the painting would go, relying entirely on each other to progress through every single step. The pieces of work felt alive—forever changing and bursting into life with every turn.
Always being thoughtful of each other’s moves, we stayed completely open until we both agreed that a piece was truly finished. I could not have chosen a more perfect collaborative partner than Fanoulla. I have a strong feeling that we will be continuing this journey for a long time—and we are already thrilled that Art Basel Miami is on our calendar again this year.
Come and see the result of this silent conversation.
Visit the “Us2″ exhibition at Rooftop Arts Centre and experience the art of letting go.

Do you remember that moment? That instant you stop, captivated, by the power, the wit, and the sheer force of a piece of street art? Urban art is more than just graffiti; it is culture, protest, and a mirror reflecting the contemporary world.
The ‘USUAL SUSPECTS’ exhibition at Rooftop Art Centre offers exactly that encounter. It is a powerful congregation of the most influential voices in contemporary art—from the iconic visual activism of Banksy, to the emotional storytelling of Tracey Emin, and the darkly humorous narratives of Connor Brothers.
We have granted a brief, final extension based on incredible demand. But this means the window is rapidly closing.
🚨 FINAL WARNING: The exhibition closes on May 2nd.
You have only two days left to step into the world of ‘Usual Suspects’.
Don’t let this cultural journey become a footnote. Imagine the feeling of standing directly in front of a Damien Hirst or a Pure Evil piece—that energy is unique and temporary.
Beyond the Experience: Owning the Art.
If you feel a deep connection to a piece, remember that the experience doesn’t have to end when the exhibition does. We are also offering certified ArtPrints and select original works by the featured artists. This is a rare chance to not only see the art but to own a piece of this global phenomenon.
