BAROQUE and Bananas

I am ManiPopart, a PopArt artist who thrives on blending vibrant colors and confident messaging in my work. Strongly influenced by Warhol and Basquiat, I use spray paint and stencils to deliver bold visuals with small, impactful messages. My style is energetic, cocky, and experimental, often working with materials like wood, resin, and canvas. I was born to Greek parents and raised in Sweden, which has given me a unique perspective that influences my art. After spending 15 years in the corporate world, I made the decision to "break the chains" and dedicate myself fully to my passion for art. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of exhibiting my work in Sweden, Germany, and Greece. One of my most significant achievements is having my PopArt portrait of Olof Palme displayed in the Olof Palme Museum in Sweden. In my work, I often include hidden hobo signs and other symbolic imagery, inviting viewers to explore the layers of meaning behind each piece. Through color, form, and historical references, I aim to connect with people and spark conversations that go beyond the surface of the canvas.
