I act as if I don't care if people dislike me. Deep down I secretly enjoy it. - Wednesday Addams
In the central point of the painting, we see a portrait of Wednesday, a character known from The Addams Family, famous for her dark and eccentric personality. Her face is depicted in a realistic manner, reflecting her character's distinctive expression and dark aesthetic. However, what makes this portrait stand out is the tattoo placed on her neck, which contrasts with her dark nature, presenting an element of Pop-art ease and humor.
Below Wednesday's portrait is a neon sign reading "Keep Smiling", which adds an element of surrealism and irony to the entire work. This statement is at odds with Wednesday's personality and the overall tone of The Addams Family, which is known for its dark humor and cynicism. The neon sign creates a clear contrast to the darkness of Wednesday, thus emphasizing the funny and satirical aspect of the artwork.
