About this artwork

Continuing along the line of thought that connects freedom, fiction and play, in the Nano-Nano series I bring together what have been the most well-known dictatorships in history with the Western liberal system, highlighting their contradictions precisely through the caricature of the most significant co-protagonists of the fairy tales.
Thus, Walt Disney's beloved seven dwarfs become both the personification of sneaky American-style capitalism and… the guardians of various totalitarian regimes, a well-polished double side of the same coin, which in turn reveals further inconsistencies. Embellished with a background of golden tiles of Byzantine origin, each character maintains the distinctive traits of their character and the classic cinematic iconography, but without being equipped with shovels, pickaxes or diamonds and so little Dopey, finally, has the arduous task of raising a Christian cross, in place of the lantern, to open an awkward procession.
