Bold, surreal illustrations exploring Neomania—the obsession with novelty—through vibrant, futuristic monkey skulls and crystals.

This art collection delves into the concept of Neomania, where novelty is prized above all else, inspired by Nassim Taleb’s critique of modern culture’s fixation on the new. Each piece reimagines the monkey skull, a symbol of primal curiosity and imitation, fused with crystalline motifs and glowing colors to evoke the allure — and emptiness — of perpetual innovation.

The vivid palette and geometric overlays reflect both the hypnotic attraction of “the latest” and the fragile nature of chasing trends at the expense of substance. As a whole, the series serves as a visual meditation on the cost of neomania, questioning whether, in our pursuit of novelty, we lose touch with deeper meaning.
