THE NEW ORIGINALS COLLECTION®

" A Symphony of Provocative Elegance "

 

This HEL MORT collection, meticulously crafted between 2023 and 2024 over eight months of dedicated labor, made its debut on Saatchi Art in April 2024. Each artwork, infused with its own distinctive title, encapsulates profound symbolism envisioned by the artist.

Beginning from the top left corner, a meditative woman symbolizes the transformation of Indian culture from a spiritual sanctuary to an industrial powerhouse. This transition is echoed by a lifeless figure, reflecting the diminishing spirituality in the Western world. Following, a powerful reinterpretation of Botticelli’s Venus embodies the online harassment faced by contemporary artists, whose expressions are often censored or suppressed by algorithms, regardless of their theme—be it nudity, horror, or political commentary.

Three pieces portraying a woman and a crocodile depict the distressing journey of an abusive relationship, reaching its culmination in a poignant reflection on rape and abortion. The collection then turns to critique media manipulation: a woman confronting an explosion offers a sharp commentary on the Israel-Palestine conflict, where powerful entities distort reality to serve their interests, obscuring tragedies like genocide.

Another artwork portrays a Japanese geisha holding a large sandwich, symbolizing the encroachment of modern corporations that dilute traditional cultures into a single consumerist identity. Drug abuse and its normalization are depicted through a girl licking a frog. The artificiality of modern human interaction finds expression in a piece featuring a woman with Medusa’s head and snake hair, serving as a commentary on dating apps.

A defiant kiss shared between two Muslim women challenges Islamic taboos and the oppression faced by LGBTQ+ individuals. Mental health struggles are illuminated through a girl with pink hair, reflecting the artist’s personal experiences within their family. The alarming decline in global fertility rates is symbolized by a woman cradling broken eggs in her belly. A young girl positioned with a hole in the abdomen revealing the universe signifies the abandonment and neglect often experienced by Generation Z.

Finally, a naked elderly woman weeps, offering a poignant portrayal of the war in Ukraine, the multitude of casualties, and the artist’s personal grief—his mother’s battle with cancer.
