Original artwork description:

The work is covered with a very glossy varnish, delivery in a roll

This captivating original painting by artists Anna Onikiyenko and Irina Golovina presents an infernal carousel where famous contemporary personalities are cleverly disguised as surreal, imaginative characters. The central figure atop the carousel is Spig, a yellow alien genie created by Irina, known for his cunning and playful character. The carousel itself symbolizes a whirlpool of conspiracy theories, spinning in the dark of night with a variety of masked figures representing different themes and beliefs. The personalities of today are reimagined through the artists’ unique lens, transformed into these surreal, otherworldly characters. The vibrant, electrifying colors, especially the yellow hues surrounding Spig, create a sense of movement and intrigue in this dark yet playful piece. The dramatic composition blends humor, mystery, and modern cultural references, making it an intriguing addition to any collection of contemporary and surreal art.
