Untitled by tijo (2025), 80 × 80 cm acrylic and oil stick on canvas. A neo-expressionist portrait of a blue-skinned head with a pink brain visible through the skull, a single red eye, a square-toothed grin, and a red horn at the crown. A DNA double helix marked with a TM stamp sits on the left of the canvas; a pink hand reaches up on the right. A red heart is centered in the chest. Surrounded by floating dollar and euro symbols on a yellow-orange ground.

Mr. Happy by tijo (2025), 60 × 80 cm acrylic and oil stick on canvas. A neo-expressionist portrait of a yellow-orange skull with mismatched square-framed eyes, a red tongue, and a wide white grin with the word FAMOUS spelt across the teeth. Background is a blue wall on the left and a green wall covered in dollar signs on the right. A pale hand reaches up from below, and a curling pink and white snake-like form with a red heart sits at the bottom of the canvas.
