"When Zidane was about to win his second World Cup and retired from football as one of the greatest ever, he hit another player and auto-sabotage the end of his career. When Will Smith was about to win his first Oscar as the best leading actor in a role, he slapped his friend for making a joke about his wife.
In my spiritual journey, I discovered different points in my life where I was sabotaging myself. The ego plays you tricks at the end of the road to confirm that you don’t deserve success.
In this piece, I wanted to express visually the feeling of finally controlling your ego and succeeding in your dreams with a lethal knockout.
This painting marks for me the beginning of my pink era. “La vie en rose” life is beautiful and the power of creation is unlimited, once you govern your ego there are no limits to what you can achieve."
