Artist Statement: The Rumpelton Universe

 The Rumpelton Universe is not a project — it’s an ongoing experiment in collapse, recovery, and pixelated sincerity.

Every painting, whether triumph or disaster, belongs to the same myth: a world where art historians argue over MS Paint brushstrokes and minor shading errors are treated like philosophical events.

I release everything — the good, the bad, and the ones that shouldn’t exist. The Rumpelton Archives are a record of failure without shame and mastery without polish. Each work is accompanied by commentary from my panel of critics — Dr. Horace Plimwell, Beatrix Hollenstein, Ava Chives, and others — whose opinions range from glowing to appalled.

The tone is serious, but the results are rarely so.
Every attempt to create beauty ends up looking slightly wrong, which is exactly what keeps it alive.
The Rumpelton Universe continues to expand — one awkward masterpiece at a time.
