Oil painting
Cunning
Original title: La ruse
A long-nosed profile making its way forward on its fingertips.
The neck turns into a hand and the hand walks: five fingers with red nails are all the legs it needs. Behind the head floats a tangle of coloured threads, like thoughts in a knot. The smile is thin and the eye slides sideways. Cunning never runs. It tiptoes.

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.
