“King of Nothing” is a bold pop art piece featuring a crowned gorilla behind vibrant yellow prison bars, set against an electric blue backdrop. The crown sits heavy atop the figure, mocking traditional symbols of power and royalty while the cage drives home the emptiness behind the throne. Textured black contrasts with sharp gold, highlighting both the futility and isolation of fake authority. The ManiPopart signature in the corner cements it as a rebellious statement aimed at anyone fooled by status or titles. This work blends satire, rebellion, and high-impact color to bluntly expose the joke behind wannabe kings.

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 Through color, form, and historical references, I aim to connect with people and spark conversations that go beyond the surface of the canvas.
