Richie rich boxing edition (Rich Academy Lite) Painting

Correo contacto: Luis Mesa is a prominent urban artist whose work focuses on the critical representation of money, financial power, and the mechanisms of global wealth accumulation. Through a visual language influenced by pop art and urban art, Mesa uses celebrated and recognizable figures from popular culture such as Richie Rich, Scrooge McDuck, and Mr. Monopoly—icons directly associated with wealth, ambition, and capitalism. His work establishes a dialogue between the colorful and accessible aesthetics of pop art and a profound reflection on the workings of the contemporary economic system, taking the world of Wall Street and the dynamics of the financial market as symbolic references. By appropriating these characters, the artist ironically and provocatively exposes the normalization of the power of money and its influence on contemporary society. Luis Mesa transforms symbols of entertainment into tools of social critique, inviting the viewer to question the true value of money, success, and the dominant model of wealth, all through a direct, visually striking, and urban narrative.
