Winning work at the Malamegi Art Lab Prize Rome, 2023 edition - Winner of the Cash-Prize

"1,2,3, come on masked, it's your turn!
4, 5, 6 sitting there they put her!
7,8,9, this is the game of trials"

This painting wants to be a reinterpretation of the sad reality... we mask ourselves with lies so as not to tell uncomfortable truths, we play hide and seek behind someone else and we always look for scapegoats. Hence the masks placed on the characters, masks of hares running fast, or rabbits running away from reality. Helpless hares that are placed near the mouths of hungry wolves that symbolize the so-called scapegoats.
We see that little girl in a mask, sitting on an armchair, under the porch of an old house, it signifies the smallness and immaturity of certain characters, put in power to direct us all. They are masked, you never know who does what, you never know who is to blame for the degeneration of society!
