“Modern Day Babylon”, 35”H x 80” W, oil on wood

This painting, inspired by the events of 9/11, explores the timeless struggle between good and evil. At its center stands Lady Gaga, a symbol of vulnerability, resilience and modern pop culture, against a backdrop of chaos and turmoil. The burning flames and immense ocean wave embody the raw forces of destruction and the potential for renewal and rebirth. Towering above, the Tower of Babel represents human arrogance, greed and the consequences of overreach. Yet amidst the chaos, the rising sun and soaring doves offer a glimmer of hope, signifying freedom, redemption, and the enduring possibility of renewal. This work serves as a poignant commentary on the challenges of the modern world and humanity’s unrelenting pursuit of redemption.
