Description:
This picture is part of the series "Pathos of the Bureaucracy".
The artwork "Official Letter" was created as a humorous response to my previous painting "Collective Letter". Together, they reflect the absurdity and irony of bureaucratic systems, where endless documents, permissions, and official stamps replace real action.

With playful symbolism and attention to detail, this work transforms the dry theme of paperwork into a vivid and satirical visual story. It invites the viewer to smile, but also to reflect on how bureaucracy often consumes time, energy, and even life itself.

This artwork has been published in a magazine, emphasizing its originality and conceptual depth.
