Mixed-media art: a black car with neon headlights and off-kilter wheels glides through the night with a grinning skeleton family. A muscular man flies through the hatchback, carrying a gun and a skull, alongside the word “Death” in red gothic text. — “WINNING” by Kevin Bodniza.

Kevin Bodniza (@sugarcanepapi), a self-taught artist born in South Florida, has always approached art instinctually, creating without formal training. Using collage, he constructs textured worlds that reflect both chaos and beauty, evoking emotions from joy to discomfort. His work embraces fragmentation and transformation. In 2024, Kevin held his first solo exhibition in Miami Shores, marking a milestone in his emerging career. He hopes to share his work on a larger scale, sparking conversations that linger. Unbound by convention, Kevin embraces creativity as the fullest expression of existence and aspires to grow his artistic footprint in the years to come.
