Description by the gallery owner

Baby-D's works are simultaneously fascinating and unsettling. This mysterious artist creates visual universes that disorientate the viewer, blending elements of our contemporary world with recognizable pop icons, such as Queen Elizabeth, Donald Trump, Al Pacino, Pope Francis, and Michael Jordan. These figures are inserted with surprising harmony into visionary scenarios, giving rise to a surreal metaverse where iconic figures of global culture meet and engage in an imaginary dialogue. Baby-D thus constructs an artistic language that blends irony, provocation, and visual poetry, giving shape to a new pop surrealism that reflects—and distorts—the spirit of our time.

In the effervescent landscape of contemporary art, BABY-D emerges with irreverent boldness, an artist who is overturning the conventions of traditional Pop Art to forge a new, cutting, and profoundly irreverent language. A young talent—but only for a temporary reason—BABY-D prefers to hide behind an enigmatic pseudonym: perhaps an ironic homage to some forgotten pop icon, or a mocking nod to the art system itself. He's rapidly gaining recognition for his ability to take the most recognizable elements of popular culture and twist them, revealing their hypocrisies, absurdities, and latent darkness. His works aren't simple, colorful homages to consumerism or celebrity, as is often the case with more conventional Pop Art. Instead, BABY-D acts like a relentless surgeon: he dissects the collective imagination with a scalpel imbued with corrosive irony. He takes glossy advertising icons, nostalgic cartoon characters, and ubiquitous global brand logos, decontextualizing them, manipulating them, and fusing them into unsettling compositions that force the viewer to reflect on something far from superficial. His technique—MIXMEDIA—is as eclectic as his references. He ranges with ease from acrylic painting with saturated colors and clean lines, indebted to classic pop aesthetics, to digital collage that superimposes fragments of different media, creating visual and conceptual short circuits. He also embraces silkscreen printing, reinterpreting it with irreverent variations, almost like artistic "bootlegs" that parody the serial reproducibility so dear to Warhol, but with an overtly subversive intent. At times, his three-dimensional creations add a further level of alienation and object critique. What sets BABY-D apart from the emerging art scene is his poignant narrative. Behind the apparent lightness and captivating aesthetic lies a sharp, often merciless, critique of contemporary society. His works address themes such as the obsession with image and appearance, the commodification of identity, the superficiality of social media, the alienating impact of technology, and the contradictions of capitalism. He does so with a visual language that is both familiar and unsettling, using "pop" as bait to lead the viewer into more uncomfortable conceptual territories. His exhibitions deliberately amplify this sense of alienation. Environments saturated with acidic pop colors frame works that disturb the apparent calm of popular iconography. The effect is disorienting, at times humorous in its cynicism, but always provocative and necessary. BABY-D doesn't seek easy approval or mere decoration. His goal is to awaken consciences numbed by media bombardment, to crack the shiny veneer of consumerism, and to reveal the shadows behind the colorful masks of pop culture. With each work, he poses a silent yet powerful challenge: to look beyond the glossy surface and question the true meaning of the icons that populate our daily lives. In an age of homogenization and mainstream narratives, BABY-D's irreverent voice resonates like an irreverent and indispensable echo.
