Pinocchio & the Rubber Ducky
Series: Pinocchio Land A little nostalgia, a little absurdity, and a whole lot of Pop Art. Inspired by vintage cartoons and the playful spirit of Pop Art, Pinocchio & the Rubber Ducky reimagines a beloved childhood character with an unexpected twist. Bold colors, exaggerated features, and a sense of humor turn a familiar childhood icon into a playful contemporary image. Because sometimes, art doesn't need a complicated story. Sometimes, a duck on a nose is enough.

Muriel Elmaleh
Muriel Elmaleh is a contemporary artist whose practice moves between expressive abstraction, Pop Art, and figurative painting. Working with acrylic on canvas, she explores emotion, movement, and identity through distinct visual languages. Her abstract works translate emotion into movement through layered marks, drips, and sweeping gestures, creating compositions driven by rhythm, tension, and physical energy. In her Pop Art paintings, she draws on familiar characters, popular culture, and contemporary imagery, combining bold colors, playful compositions, and dark humor to explore the contradictions of modern life. Beyond abstraction and Pop Art, some of Elmaleh's figurative works draw from personal memory and her childhood in Ivory Coast, exploring themes of motherhood, resilience, and cultural heritage. Self-taught and instinct-driven, Elmaleh approaches painting through both intuition and experimentation. Whether abstract or figurative, her work moves between spontaneity and control, with emotion remaining at the center of her artistic practice.
