The Art of Hollywood, 2026

 The Art of Hollywood, 2026


Before green screens.

Before pixels replaced paint.

There was illusion, made by hand.

At a time when the movie industry is ruled by digital perfection, I turn my camera toward what came before: a Hollywood built on canvas, pigment, and the invisible labour of master painters who created entire worlds behind the actors.

I travelled to Los Angeles to stand before these monumental, long-forgotten backdrops, survivors of another era. Once central to cinematic storytelling, they now linger in silence. By entering these painted spaces, I reanimate them, staging new narratives that resonate with the films we thought we knew, yet remember only in fragments.

The Art of Hollywood is a return to the age of hand-painted film posters, images that promised everything in a single frame: love, danger, glamour, escape. Borrowing their visual language, I construct carefully choreographed scenes in which reality and illusion collapse into a single image.

This work is not a homage.

It is a confrontation.

A dialogue between analogue craftsmanship and contemporary vision.

Between memory and reinvention.

Hollywood, once painted.

Hollywood, remembered.

Hollywood, reimagined.
