This is a chimp selfie takeover in front of the Statue of Liberty—peak tourist chaos meets pop art satire. They're crowding the icon, phones up, snapping away like every other mindless visitor chasing the perfect shot. The "I ❤️ NY" logo looms overhead, but the dripping heart and muted olive backdrop strip away any romance: this is about performance, not connection. Lady Liberty's just another backdrop for the gram.This piece nails the absurdity of modern tourism and shallow "experiences" where nobody's actually present—they're just hunting content. It's bold, layered, and cynical as hell. Perfect for collectors who see through the performative bullshit of Instagram culture and want art that punches back. Hang this if you're over fake moments and ready to call out the circus.

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 Through color, form, and historical references, I aim to connect with people and spark conversations that go beyond the surface of the canvas.
