"Throwing the carrot to the rabbit"

"Throwing the Carrot to the Rabbit" is part of the series The Marionets and presents a powerful metaphorical composition. In this artwork, a rabbit—symbolizing a victim, representing people, including the artist and viewer—is being offered a carrot that stands for money. The carrot, while seemingly harmless, becomes a tool of control, revealing the tension between temptation and manipulation. The woman in the painting represents the government, casting the carrot with an intention that reflects irony and power dynamics.

Surrounding this central image, an intricate ornamental background symbolizes the beauty of life—sometimes fading, sometimes bursting with color and vibrancy. The ornamentation serves as a reminder of life’s complexity, where irony, humor, and deeper meaning intertwine.

This artwork is not only a vivid allegory but also a captivating piece for decorative interior design. At first glance, it may seem humorous—a woman throwing a carrot at a rabbit—but behind this playful image lies a profound reflection on society, power, and human vulnerability.
The picture will be sent in tube.
