Break the Rules is a powerful and contemporary portrait inspired by Kate Moss, an icon of style and rebellion. The figure, painted in elegant shades of blue, stands out strongly against a vibrant graffiti background — a symbol of urban energy and pure artistic freedom. The teddy bear and the tattooed phrase “Break the Rules” create a captivating contrast between innocence and transgression, emphasizing a message of emancipation from conventional aesthetic and social norms.

The combination of oil and spray paint on canvas blends the tradition of classical portraiture with the spontaneity of street art, resulting in a bold and hybrid aesthetic. The artwork celebrates the strength of contemporary femininity and the courage to defy the rules in order to affirm one’s own identity. A visually striking piece, perfect for collections that value personality, intensity, and a rebellious spirit.
