The series „politics“ presents humorous yet surprising scenes of politicians physically fighting, depicted in detailed oil paintings with an aesthetic approach. These works expose political controversies in today’s world.

These vivid depictions highlight the pressing challenges in today’s political landscape. As the global population grows, resources dwindle, and power dynamics shift, we see this frustration manifest in physical clashes within the very institutions meant to govern with reason. These scenes capture the struggle of those who refuse to passively witness decisions with potentially catastrophic consequences for their nations.

But what are WE fighting for?

In some cases the fights are for freedom; in others a systemic dysfunction is revealed. Sometimes, the fights just make good press.

In all cases the game being played is one of politics.

Rather than critiquing specific issues in individual countries, this work uses examples to illustrate a broader phenomenon: people worldwide are turning to violence out of frustration as democratic values—universal to all societies—come under threat. In times like these, it is especially vital to uphold and defend the principles we stand for. This artwork serves as both an educational and motivational tool, provoking questions about the kind of values we want in a society.
