Mural painting often feels like a solitary race against the clock but this time was just the opposite. Surrounded by a symphony of world-class musicians, workshops and the vibrant energy of @casa__maxa , every stroke on this mural was a note in our collective harmony.
Thank you to the @casa__maxa team for your support and to every guest and creative who helped fill these days with wonder ❤️🔥
Without a doubt the most controversial subject I’ve painted to date- a woman whose story leaves audiences intrigued and mortified. It’s a story which has been suppressed and kept in the shadows for too long.
Illuminated above the city in neon yellow, blue and pink, it no longer has anywhere to hide.
Stay tuned for the full story.
This watercolor became my first animation back during covid lockdowns. At the time I only saw its flaws, every choppy frame and rough edge. Four years and an ocean of AI slop later I see something different. Proof of human hands, imperfect and alive ♥️
This is 35. If I’ve learned anything in these years, it’s to spend more time with your family. More time with your hands. More time in nature. More time in silence. More time eating gelato. And if at all possible, more time in Italy ♥️
For over 2000 years, Italians have been taking two weeks off in August to crowd beaches, fight for parking and eat to the point of exhaustion. Some call it masochism, we call it Ferragosto. ♥️
Walls that breathe stories, colors that echo tradition✨
During our three-day event in Art Week, @calebscrepnek brought this mural to life in real-time, transforming Casa Maxa’s walls into an altar of Mexicanidad. With each brushstroke, he wove together sacred symbols like the deer, Maxa’s guiding spirit, standing at the heart of the vision
At Casa Maxa, every stroke holds intention, every space is a portal. Here, art is not just seen—it’s felt, honored, and lived. 🦌🔥

Most people know me for my illustration but realism was my first love and how I got my start in art. This mural felt like a rekindling of that love and why I started painting in the first place.
Which style do you prefer? Should I return to realism more often?
