New Wealth is a series of oil portrait paintings - current, in progress
New Wealth explores the commodification of health in a world where profit outweighs well-being. Through bold, symbolic imagery, the series examines the poisoning of our food systems, the overmedication of bodies—especially children’s—and the replacement of real care with synthetic convenience. What was once natural and holistic has been side-lined by quick fixes that numb rather than heal.
This work critiques a culture of overconsumption—not just of products, but of health itself, now marketed as a luxury. It highlights how industries exploit women’s insecurities and how children are pathologized early, handed pills and screens instead of attention, freedom, and time outdoors. Their development is shaped not by presence or play, but by sedation and stimulation.
At its core, New Wealth questions the abandonment of sustainability in favour of instant gratification. It confronts the damage done to both people and planet when health becomes a product, and childhood a managed condition.
This series calls for reflection—a return to conscious care for our bodies, our children, and the natural world they’re meant to grow freely within.

"Nature’s Keeper" 60x80cm oil on canvas
In a world where childhood is increasingly shaped by screens, pills, and processed convenience, Nature’s Keeper stands as a quiet act of resistance. This young guardian, surrounded by roots, herbs, and the faint echo of ancient knowledge, reminds us of a birthright long forgotten: the wisdom of plants, the joy of muddy hands, and the healing found under open skies.
This portrait calls us to teach our children not just how to consume the world, but how to care for it—how to recognize food as life, nature as teacher, and play as freedom. She is not only a child of nature, but its protector—her eyes wide with the memory of what we must return to.

"Growing Pains" 60x80cm oil on canvas
Big Pharma doesn’t profit from healthy kids—they profit from medicated ones.
Overprescribing strips children of the chance to build real immunity.
This painting, Growing Pains, is a protest against a system that treats childhood like a market

"Ashes of Innocence" 100×80 cm, oil on canvas
In Ashes of Innocence, three versions of a boy, facing past, present, and future, stand as symbols of a generation caught in the crossfire of consumerism and pharmaceutical dependency. The child’s shirt bears the ghostly imprints of currency and biohazard insignias, echoing the societal forces shaping him before he has a chance to simply be a child. It is a portrait of innocence prematurely burned away in the name of progress and profit.

“Generation Unwell” 100x80cm oil on canvas
The painting presents a haunting portrait of modern childhood, fractured into three silent profiles facing a different direction each yet bound by a common affliction. The central child stares ahead with quiet despair, symbolizing a generation caught in a storm not of their making. One face reflects the isolation from authentic social connection, replaced by digital interactions and solitude. Another turns away, echoing the disorientation from relentless streams of age-inappropriate information. The third is shaded in gray blue, a nod to the overmedication and chemical-laden foods that permeate their development.
This piece confronts a deeply uncomfortable truth: that our systems; technological, medical, and cultural, are stifling the organic growth of children, replacing play and discovery with sedation and overstimulation. Here, innocence is divided and diluted, and health, both mental and physical, is a casualty of convenience and neglect.

"Case Study: Childhood 2025" 100x100cm oil on canvas
This painting captures two solemn, doll-like children suspended in a clinical limbo caught between nature and medication, nurture and neglect. The apple, once a symbol of health and vitality, now sits as an ironic relic beside a pharmaceutical capsule, hinting at the replacement of real nourishment with synthetic solutions. Biohazard symbols flank the composition, underscoring the toxic environments; physical, emotional, and societal, that modern children are being raised in. This artwork critiques the quiet crisis of a generation growing up isolated, underfed in spirit and body, and pathologized from infancy. It presents a sterile, almost diagnostic view of childhood, asking the viewer: What future are we really preparing them for?

"Profit Pain" 80×80 cm, oil on canvas
A striking portrait of a woman rendered in bruised, unnatural hues, Profit Pain captures the tension between synthetic beauty and silent suffering. Surrounded by symbols of commerce, pharma, and faded nature, her expression is steady yet vacant—caught between compliance and defiance. This work critiques the monetization of wellness and the aestheticization of pain, where healing is sold and suffering becomes quietly palatable.

'Pretty in Numb' 40x40cm oil on canvas
In a culture that medicates emotion and glamorizes pain, Pretty in Numb reveals the allure of pharmaceutical beauty. Pills adorn like jewels, symptoms are silenced, and true healing is side-lined for surface appeal. This portrait captures a quiet submission—an aesthetic of control, compliance, and curated wellness.

Harvested Choices 100x100cm oil on canvas
We’ve outsourced our wellbeing. Health has become a product, not a priority. We spend more on skincare routines, following brands over ingredients, while neglecting the nutrition we feed our bodies. Beauty is curated; wellness is marketed. The body is targeted, medicated, and manipulated — all in the name of convenience and control.
Harvested Choices confronts the illusion of autonomy in our daily decisions. When every option is packaged and sold, are we still choosing — or just consuming?

"Bleeding Pretty" 80x80cm oil on canvas
The painting exposes the damage caused by the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries, which profit from insecurities they manufacture and amplify. The woman's face, bruised with vivid, painterly smears, reflects the violence hidden beneath marketed beauty. Syringes float around her like tools of control—symbols of procedures and products sold as self-improvement. Through raw colour and surreal composition, the work reveals how these industries commodify identity and turn self-worth into a business model.

"Placebo Childhood" 80x60cm, Oil on canvas
Placebo Childhood lays bare an uncomfortable truth: that real remedies like fresh air, real food, movement, attention, and unstructured time still exist, but they are inconvenient. They don’t align with a fast-paced, profit-driven model. And so, instead of nature, we offer pills. Instead of play, screens. Instead of patience, prescriptions.
The portrait of a child, rendered with tender clarity, becomes a vessel for this cultural critique. Surrounded by symbols of medicine and muted flora, the figure reflects a generation medicated not just by pharmaceuticals but by a system that pathologizes childhood itself. This painting does not merely question pharmaceutical excess, it confronts a society that confuses control for care and silence for wellness.
