My art is message oriented. Expensive koi live in cheap fish cans. Here the theme is consumption and fashion industry. The huge fat Shopping Queen with pierced gills and augmented lips, her Gucci bag dangling on her fin, is oblivious of the hard toiling smaller koi, working in the production, never making a decent living. They nearly drown among all the designer goodies packed into bags and parcels. Behind the bright PopArt colors and the humorous fish portrayals I hide my critique on exploitation, overpricing and consumption in a world, where the gap between rich and poor widens.
