“Out With The Old” is a visual commentary on the way social media often glorifies surface over substance. Created out of frustration, this piece explores how hard work, tradition, and authenticity can get buried beneath flashy, curated illusions.

The painting began as an unfinished, classic-style portrait—something with depth and intention. Rather than discard it, I painted over it with bright, childlike blue shapes, almost like paper cutouts, mimicking the feel of overly manufactured perfection. What peeks through is a reminder of what we often overlook: the raw, the real, the history behind the moment.

This piece challenges the idea that “new” always means “better,” and asks the viewer to consider what we lose when we cover up what came before.
