Originals

These are the originals — where each story in Barbtropolis takes its first breath.

Every piece is one-of-a-kind, painted directly onto canvas with nothing between me and the work. No digital shortcuts. No tracing. No rehearsals. Just me, my brushes, and a lot of acrylics.

I never sketch first. It always begins with a single line. That line decides the next, and the next — until the characters emerge, raw and unpolished, layer by layer, hand to surface. There is always one mark that everything else grows from.

What you see is exactly what happened in real time. No plan. No rules. No erasers. No undoing. Once a line is made, it stays — like the choices we make in life. We can work with them, shape them, even mend them, but we can never erase them. That permanence is what makes the work personal, imperfect, and alive. That’s where the energy lives.

    Being from Brazil, the rainforest isn’t just a distant idea—it’s part of the cultural and natural fabric I grew up around. I’ve always had a deep love for animals, their quirks, their grace, their role in the wild. "Rainforest" is a tribute to that sense of awe and to the dream of co-living—of exploring nature not to conquer it, but to admire, protect, and live alongside it with wonder.

    My father is a violinist, so I grew up with the sound of strings filling the house—classical music playing in the background of everyday life. I never learned to play myself, but there are few sounds in the world I love more. This piece is a playful nod to that part of my upbringing: a cat with soul, poise, and just the right amount of drama in every note.

    This is the original concept for my Industry City mural—painted as a plan for the freight elevator located in the heart of the food hall.
