ha.nds - h.eel of corruption - XXL

The work: "h.eel of corruption" is a contemporary piece with strong visual and conceptual impact, perfectly embodying the heart of the "artivism" (artistic activism) of the HA.NDS project. Using a bold, hyper-saturated neo-pop visual language, the painting explores the friction between systemic corruption, the structures of consumerist power, and global ecological and social awareness.

The composition stages this conflict through a dense and vibrant crowd of symbolic characters who hold up signs for climate justice, peace, and human rights, all dramatically overshadowed by a colossal heel that symbolizes the crushing weight of contemporary socio-political corruption. In line with the artist's sustainable philosophy, the work rejects traditional and industrial supports, using reclaimed materials to integrate the concept of recycling and circular economy directly into the very matter of the painting. A piece of great graphic power, ideal for collectors of contemporary pop art.
