Art and politics have always danced together—sometimes in sync, sometimes at odds. From cave walls to digital screens, creative expression has been a tool for persuasion, revolution, and resistance. And whether it’s a Renaissance mural commissioned by royalty or a meme posted from a basement apartment, all art says something about the time—and power—that birthed it.
The history of propaganda in art is long and complicated. Ancient emperors carved their victories into stone. Kings painted themselves larger than life (literally). During the 20th century, governments around the world—from Soviet Russia to Nazi Germany to the United States—used posters, films, and illustrations to steer public opinion. Art was no longer just about beauty. It became about control.
But let’s not pretend it ended there. In our homes, family dinners turned political somewhere between the mashed potatoes and the red wine. The bourgeois ideal of "polite society" demanded restraint, but politics always found its way in—especially through art. A painting hanging over the mantle might quietly signal allegiance to a party, class, or ideology. In my family, those conversations weren’t so quiet. They were vivid, messy, and—thankfully—fuel for my creativity.
And so, I paint what I see. Or rather, what I can’t unsee. Which brings me to my latest work— MAGA MANIA: The President’s Puppets my prelaunch NFT collection now viewable on OpenSea.
Each illustration in this series is a satirical portrait of political power—figures you know and may love to hate—rendered with irony, absurdity, and a whole lot of color. They’re not just NFTs. They’re digital political cartoons with a soul.
Why jump in now? Because this is the prelaunch, which means you get a better deal. Early supporters get first pick at a lower price. Once this collection takes off (and it will), prices will rise like a politician’s promises during campaign season.
So whether you're a collector, a political junkie, or just someone who enjoys provocative, conversation-starting art, take a look. Share. Invest. Start a revolution—one NFT at a time.
