The artist has showcased various forms of his artwork worldwide, ranging from paintings and sculptures, to fashion merchandises, recognized as iconic figure in the global pop art scene.
“I became an artist when I became a Lobster,” said Colbert. The creation of his Lobster persona communicates and expresses art through the lobster character.

With his vibrant pop art creations, blending contemporary culture with classic artworks, and his uniquely imaginative identity, Colbert has become an aspiring artist in the contemporary art world, earning him the title “Godson of Andy Warhol.”
In Western culture, lobsters are symbolized as a sign of abundance and are considered a luxurious delicacy. With their distinctive shape and captivating colors, combined with their characteristically competitive nature in fighting for food and territory, lobsters also reflect the darker aspects of human nature.
Colbert began exhibiting large-scale pop art exhibitions featuring lobster characters for the first time in 2017. Since then, the lobster has become his signature, embodying various narratives of contemporary pop culture through vibrant, lively, and entertaining colors, while also subtly criticizing and satirizing modern society. He has created the Lobster World through paintings, prints, sculptures, and exhibitions showcased worldwide. His work has received international acclaims from collectors and art critics globally earning him one of the most prominent contemporary artists in the present day.
“Lobster land is my creative universe where my lobster persona lives in freedom,” said the artist.
