About the Artwork:
Never Forget Why You Started is an original Scrooge McDuck Pop Art painting by contemporary artist Kristin Kossi, exploring ambition, determination and the drive to succeed.
Scrooge appears with a focused expression, dollar signs reflected in his eyes a playful symbol of ambition and his relentless pursuit of success. Beside him, the handwritten statement “Never forget why you started” shifts the focus from wealth itself to the motivation behind the journey.
Layered with expressive graffiti elements and bold urban details, the composition reflects Kossi’s characteristic approach to Pop Art, using familiar cultural icons to explore contemporary ideas of success, freedom and self-determination.
At its heart, Never Forget Why You Started is about perseverance: staying connected to your original purpose even as ambitions grow and circumstances change. The work turns Scrooge’s familiar obsession with money into a broader reflection on what drives us and why success means more when we remember what we set out to achieve in the first place.

My work explores freedom in its many forms through pop culture, ambition, nature and the choices that shape the way we live. In my Pop Art, familiar characters and cultural symbols become a language for exploring success, money, love, independence and the contradictions of contemporary life. Icons such as Scrooge McDuck, Mr. Monopoly, Bugs Bunny and Homer Simpson are removed from their familiar narratives and placed into new ones sometimes humorous, sometimes provocative, but always reflecting something about the world we live in and what we choose to value. Alongside this, my abstract work has evolved through a closer connection to nature. Living and working between wild landscapes in South Africa has shifted my perspective from the symbols of success toward something more elemental — land, time, movement, solitude and the freedom that comes from living closer to nature. What connects these seemingly different bodies of work is a continuing search for freedom. Freedom to succeed. Freedom to question. Freedom to change. And ultimately, freedom to live life on your own terms. I believe art can shift perspective. For me, creativity is not only a way of making images, but a way of understanding life — and continually redefining what truly matters.
