Oil painting
Wealth
Original title: La richesse
A huge toad squats on its gold with a coin in its mouth.
The skin is painted wart by wart, the eye half shut, one foot planted on the hoard. Behind it lie a blue night and a few distant sails. It spends nothing and lets go of nothing. It just sits. Wealth, as Novoro sees it, is no goddess. It is a cold-blooded animal.

About the series
Each canvas in this cycle starts from a title — an expression, a brand, a slogan — and treats it as a subject for classical painting. The result is a chronicle of contemporary public life, in which power, money and belief appear as characters.
