"It was an exciting opportunity for me to interpret a photo of Andy Warhol, one of my favorite avant-garde artists, taken by Diana Mara Henry at one of his 'famous' parties. The aura of the moment is drenched with excitement and festivity almost as if Mardi Gras were held in New York City. This pulse and the history behind Warhol set the tone for my translation. I wanted to capture the outlandishness and offsetting colors, Warhol’s hallmark, in the minutia of the scene, as if Warhol himself had left his thumbprint on my canvas. The kaleidoscopic effect mirrors the surreal atmosphere of his social gatherings and lifestyle and, most assuredly, is symbolic of the dizzying life he lived."
