What starts as a fleeting thought or a second-hand find, grows into work that makes you pause and question what you’re seeing, or the perspective you're seeing it from. He finds the extraordinary in the ordinary and turns it into art.

Creativity was always there. At home, he was encouraged to take ideas seriously, as long as he could explain why they might just work. His first projects were both playful and purposeful: earning a gold music record, trading his way out of student debt.
After his father passed away a year and a half ago, he started making physical art pieces, driven by a strong urge to finally bring long-held dreams and ideas to life.

Maxi works with existing objects: light boxes, dinnerware, stainless steel unicorns that turn into tables. The idea comes first. The technique follows. Every concept starts on his phone, and then takes shape by hand.

Inspiration is found rather in fashion, religion and the news than in other artists. His work doesn’t tell you what to think. It’s meant to spark something: a memory, a thought, a feeling.

You’re invited to see the everyday differently.
