Papoi Painting

This painting belongs to the "Cildhood Friends" series by Daria Bagrintseva. Daria used acrylic, gold and metallic paints, as only with them she can do to achieve the desired effect of brightness, freshness and lightness. Papoi (Papoy) is a common word used by Minions – small yellow creatures. These creatures can be found in moving pictures and movies such as Dispicable Me. In this yellow creature's language, the word 'papoi' means 'toy' or 'unicorn toy'. The Minions are small, yellow, cylindrical creatures, who have one or two eyes. They are the signature characters of the Despicable Me series. They bring much of the comedy in the film, and they are known as the scene-stealer of the movie. Frequently, they speak in an incomprehensible language, called Minionese, occasionally switching to English. They are much childish in some ways, yet they seem to be very intelligent in certain aspects. They are impulsive creatures with little self-control, but with a wide-eyed wonder and odd innocence that endears them to viewers and makes them relatable. They can be pesky when they are doing weird interactions with other people, animals, or objects; they are also famous for their gibberish-speaking language. Minions have standard English names (see below). Unlike most other criminal masterminds and their usual doctrine of abusing their henchmen, Gru gets along famously with his minions. He genuinely seems to like them and shows appreciation for their hard work and support. He even seems to know each of them by name.
