About The Artwork

Oil and acrylic on canvas 122x92cm This painting captures the essence of the women’s rights movement in Iran, portraying a powerful scene of resistance and solidarity. The artwork vividly depicts a group of courageous women as they stand up to the morality police, a symbol of the systemic oppression they face. Each woman is shown holding aloft signs that call for equality and freedom, their messages a beacon of hope amidst the struggle. The composition of the painting is dynamic, with the use of bold colors and strong lines emphasizing the determination and resilience of the women. The central figures are engaged in a defiant act of protest, their expressions resolute. The background is a tapestry of the cityscape, perhaps Tehran, with the muted tones suggesting the weight of tradition and expectation against which these women are pushing. Despite the serious subject matter, the painting is imbued with a sense of optimism. The artist has chosen to portray the women not as victims, but as empowered agents of change. Their stance is one of unyielding strength, suggesting that their fight will continue until they achieve the freedom to express themselves and make their own choices, from what they wear to how they live their lives. This piece is not just a reflection of current events; it is a timeless statement on the universal quest for human rights. It serves as a reminder that the desire for personal autonomy and respect is a deeply rooted human aspiration, transcending borders and cultures. The painting, therefore, is a tribute to the indomitable spirit of those who fight for what is just and right, in Iran and beyond.

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.
