In theWork System, the artist confronts the duality between obedience and rebellion, tradition and dissent. The female figure, recalling the classic glamour of a golden era, emerges marked by symbols of contemporary counterculture: tattoos, piercings and identity scars. The phrase “school kills artists” engraved on the neck echoes as a manifesto against institutions that shape, repress, and limit creativity.

The halo above the head ironizes the idea of purity and holiness, suggesting that even within a “system” there can be a sacred space of resistance. The background, with urban strokes and warm tones, reinforces the street atmosphere and authenticity.

System is a portrait of the constant tension between the individual and the structure, beauty and dissent, art and repression.
