Enter the world
Art about desire, identity and pop culture.
For queer minds and outsiders ★
I wear my smile upside down. I dream of those fifteen minutes of fame Andy Warhol promised us. I dream of sequins, bright with colour, waiting quietly for the metamorphosis. I face the world with a Smile as irresistible, and as unsettling, as Coca-Cola's secret formula. I'm made of cotton candy, but I've forgotten what sweetness tastes like.

Sweet at first.
Then a little
uncomfortable.
Kandy Smile is my visual diary, a world where everything looks sweet, until you look a little closer.
My colours have always been inspired by the bright, artificial tones of gummy candy — pink, blue, yellow, red, green, orange.
The name Kandy Smile comes from cotton candy: light, colourful, fragile. Something you choose because it looks beautiful, only to discover that its sweetness can disappear almost instantly, leaving behind something more bitter.
Fantasies that turn into obsessions.
Everyday moments charged with desire, vulnerability and unease.
