About this artwork
In "The Colonizer," violence and dominance are stripped bare. A black, legless ghost hovers above three struggling natives—part human, part crocodile—who recoil in anger and shock. One arm reaches toward them, while another stretches for a levitating diamond, its eye unblinking, symbolizing desire and obsession. The figure’s exposed brain grins, mesmerized not by necessity but by the thrill of power and control. Against a backdrop of pink, the painting…
confronts the intoxicating lure of dominance, exposing cruelty as an end in itself rather than a means.
