Drawing inspiration from his own path and echoing the influence of Degas, Carreon’s ballerinas become symbolic figures—stand-ins for actors, poets, models and performers navigating the Hollywood landscape. Against the purity of a white background, this figure conveys both the cost of ambition and the temptations of ego. For Carreon, the ballerina reflects strength intertwined with vulnerability, a visual metaphor for the ongoing struggle between self-acceptance and the pull of external validation. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Carreon’s journey from street art to the global gallery stage shapes the authenticity of his work. With roots in skateboarding and graffiti culture, he infuses his art with spiritual depth and unfiltered honesty, crafting a bold, contemporary voice that redefines modern expression. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Canvas: 40\" high x 30\" wide (101.60 x 76.20 cm)\u003cbr\u003e Frame: 41 1\/8\" high x 31 1\/8\" wide x 2 1\/8\" wide (104.46 x 79.06 x 5.40 cm)","brand":"M.S.
