Flawless Opening

@ Beverly Hills

July 22 - August 20, 2023

Solo Pop-Up Exhibition

9410 Dayton Way, Beverly Hills, CA 90210

Hey! My pop-up exhibition Flawless just opened in the heart of Beverly Hills where every street feels like a runway, even the air seems sprinkled with sparkle! For me, this show is a playful reflection on desire, perfection, and how we experience luxury when it’s all around us, in full Cali style.

At the center of the show are my latest rare fancy intense color diamond portraits — red, blue, and green — alongside a flawless white round brilliant cut diamond, plus several other recent works. These paintings are my way of asking: how do we define “flawless”? How much of it comes from culture, from expectation, or from our own longing to see beauty in its purest form?

Adding a little extra drama (and a lot of fun) is the video Window Shopping, which captures one of my performance pieces. Picture this: me, strolling through Beverly Hills with two bodyguards, carrying a five-foot diamond painting past luxe storefronts and iconic LA landmarks.

It’s theatrical, a little over-the-top, and entirely meant to spark reflection on how we encounter desire and value in the city of endless glamour. Watching the reactions of passersby, whether they were amused, impressed, or utterly baffled, is part of the experience.

As part of the experience, I offered Polaroid photos to guests. It was a playful way for them to take a piece of the exhibition home and capture a personal memory of the show. Seeing people pose, laugh, and experiment with the frames added a fun, interactive layer to Flawless.

I hope visitors leave the gallery seeing luxury through a new lens, smiling a little more, and appreciating the sparkle in the gems, in the city, and maybe even in themselves.
