Paranoia
1995-1998
Paranoia, along with Black Coffee and Body Language, was one of my first surrealistic portfolios. Of these three series, it contains the most Dali-influenced artwork, full of allusions and hidden visual messages, much in the spirit of Dali's famous Paranoiac-Critical Transformation Method. The three colored balloons, first seen in Nine Questions, later became one of the most recognizable symbols in my art, representing childish eroticism.
