“Resilience Isn’t a Scar — It’s a Signature!”
“I don’t paint perfection. I build with the broken — because that’s where the soul lives.”
Max's process begins on the streets of New York — where cracked sidewalks, forgotten scraps, and rusted fragments become raw material. He doesn’t start with a blank canvas. He starts with what the world threw away.
Every piece is a negotiation between nature and intention. He uses paints that react, metals that oxidize, surfaces that shift — allowing chemistry, time, and natural reactions to leave their mark. For Max, art is a conversation with imperfection: a blend of feeling, science, and faith.
He welds, sands, layers, and experiments — not to control the outcome, but to witness what the work becomes. Themes of love, time, and resilience run through his pieces. Whether it's the memory of a lost parent, the quiet wisdom from raising a daughter, or the pressure of survival — Max pours his heart into all of his work.
He calls it building monuments from the broken. Because for him, creation isn’t about chasing beauty — it’s about honoring truth. And truth, like rust, always finds its way through.
Love & Legacy
“The greatest thing I’ve ever helped create is my daughter."
She’s the reason I get back up. The reason I keep creating, even on the hardest days.
This work — the welding, the layering, the learning — it’s how I make sense of the world. But more than that, it’s how I hope to leave something behind.
A mark. A memory. A message that says: resilience isn’t a scar — it’s a signature.
If even one piece reaches someone who’s rebuilding their own life, then I’ve done my job.
