Description
“When the whole world is up against you, I will silently stand behind you, handing you a bullet”
is a large-format oil painting by Margo Murashko that explores loyalty, power, and moral ambiguity
through iconic pop-cultural figures.
The image shows Dagobert Duck seated atop a mountain of cash and documents, resting on a suitcase filled with money.
Behind him stands Daisy Duck, silent, composed, and resolute, handing him what appears to be a single bullet for his rifle.
The scene references the myth of Bonnie and Clyde—not as romance, but as shared fate and unspoken complicity.
Dagobert represents accumulated wealth, control, and isolation at the peak of success.
Daisy, positioned behind him, embodies unwavering loyalty—quiet, dangerous, and decisive.
Her gesture is not aggressive, but inevitable.
The work deliberately contrasts cartoon familiarity with adult themes:
greed, violence, protection, and the cost of standing together when the world turns hostile.
The warm, heavy palette and visible brushwork reinforce the tension between comfort and threat.
This is a one-of-a-kind original artwork, painted in oil on canvas.
It is signed by the artist.
