"Market King" is a savage swipe at capitalist excess. A hulking primate—crowned, naturally—sits hunched over a pile of coins like it's protecting its last brain cell. The gritty texture and sickly palette are no accident; this isn’t meant to look pretty. Neon pink graffiti spells out "GREED IS GOOD" in a way that’s as mocking as it is direct. If you’re looking for art with bite, cynicism, and zero moral high ground, this delivers it with middle-finger energy. It’s loud, smart, and totally unapologetic—exactly what Wall Street wishes it had hanging in its lobby, if it had the balls.

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 Through color, form, and historical references, I aim to connect with people and spark conversations that go beyond the surface of the canvas.
