nata il 1984

The people who have read the Orwell Georg book about censorship, which he has written in the 1940s, understand the painting without residual information. They call "Anti Utopia" it also but the book is entitled 1984, the year I am born in the East where dictators had the power. A few years ago, censorship had a different meaning, is today called "Brainwashing". Orwell described already at that time which he had only fear, a time where we no longer have a TV remote control, and everything we see and hear is how that one 10 times must repeat a "Ave-Maria" after an alleged sin. Kneeling! And what we express impact on the lives. Where I grew up, at school we got red points for the good work and black points of the bad work. The painting is a portrait of a people with its own opinion. Own opinion black-wrong. The mouth glued red properly. I painted the picture on Christmas last year. You can not always fight against the popular opinion limit that has built the today's society. So.. my self-censorship.
