BORN TO KILL

BORN TO KILL is an original painting, now available as a limited edition print, that challenges the viewer to consider the destructive nature of both military service and tobacco consumption.

The artwork depicts a single, exaggerated cigarette, its filter a familiar orange, but the main body wrapped in a camouflage pattern—a visual metaphor linking the soldier's intended purpose with the inherent danger of a cigarette. The title, a nod to the iconic military imagery, underscores the parallel: a soldier is "born to kill" on the battlefield, just as a cigarette, once lit, is "born to kill" the smoker. The crumpled lower section suggests damage, destruction, and the ultimate consequence of both "smoking guns."
