All that Glitters
The clash of nature and commerce in my work is not accidental—it is a deliberate exploration of the tension between the ephemeral beauty of the natural world and the relentless pursuit of economic growth. What do we prioritize, and what are we willing to sacrifice for one or the other? These questions linger on the fringes of my compositions, urging viewers to confront the complexities of our modern existence.

Lordy Rodrigues
Drawving
Free Way
My work is a testament to my curiosity and exploration. Around this time, I was deeply interested in linguistics and etymology, fascinated by how words evolve and their histories, much like in spelling bees. This made me wonder if a similar tracing could be applied to visual languages. Can we trace a color scheme back to a specific culture? While art historians do this to some extent, linguistics is more detailed. I applied this approach to my series, viewing my imagery under the same microscope.

Fever Dream
The artwork encapsulates intense, surreal, and often disorienting nature. We are transported into a mesmerizing realm where the subconscious reigns supreme. Through a masterful blend of digital and traditional media, each piece becomes a portal—a gateway to a menagerie of dreamscapes, where the familiar dissolves into the fantastical, and the boundaries between reality and imagination blur.
