About The Artwork
The little Prince is a work that contemplates about the way we are treating the world. The absurdity of the fact that humans pollute the water he/she drinks, the air he/she breaths the ground where he /she walks and grow his/her food. The artist call it true madness. The madness is the unawareness of people about all these important facts especially the powerful organisations that lead the world in the wrong doing. In this image a child sits on a pile of rubbish whilst war happens in his/her background. The child is wearing a mask that represents what adults tell him/her but in his/her soul, that child is in conflict as he/she knows already that that way is wrong. This painting also reflects on child/workers in underdeveloped countries and the inequality exists among humans and races. As simple as that, this painting highlights human stupidity.

Riccardo Matlakas (b.1992, Naples, Italy) is a London based multidisciplinary artist working internationally. He is best known for his multi-talented capacity in different art forms including performance, dance, painting and sculpture. He obtained a degree in Sculpture at the University of Fine Arts in Naples and an MA in Social Sculpture at Oxford Brookes University. Riccardo values the context he works in as the main inspiration for his work, finding a common ground with each culture he connects with. He creates cathartic actions and performances in the fore-front of current political, environmental and spiritual concerns by digging for the essence of humanity beyond race and custom. The artist often collects relics from his performances which later become objects of memory and contemplation. Riccardo Matlakas has performed and shown his work extensively in Europe, Russia, Ukraine, Turkey, Palestine, Jordan, South Africa, Iran, Armenia, Russia, Myanmar, Mauritius and South Korea.
