"In the new world, it is not the big fish which eats the small fish, it's the fast fish which eats the slow fish." said the Chairman of WEF Klaus Schwab. Interesting fact is that in nature, fast fish are the most vicious predators.

The artwork was exhibited at the Qatar International Art Festival 2023 during EXPO Qatar 2023. The theme of the Festival was Environment and Sustainability. "Art Basel 2030: Installation "Fast fish" was shown together with "Art Basel 2020" as a diptych.
With these two paintings the artist wanted to draw attention to the big companies' primary duty to preserve and protect the environment. Big companies often neglect their responsibilities putting profits above the environment and people’s well-being. However, the end consumers are taking all the blame. Ordinary people, are often accused of consuming too much. However, it's the big companies who practice aggressive marketing to inspire us to consume more and more products. Products that we usually don’t even need, or products that are not durable, or low quality.
By 2030 we are supposed to be living in a different economic system, called inclusive capitalism - capitalism that works for everyone equally. However, the officials and the ideologists of the inclusive capitalism say that in the end only fast fish will survive. Meaning that those who are adapting fast in the new economic system. The question is "How is it different from the "traditional" capitalism?"

Maria Petroff, a self-taught figurative artist, seamlessly navigates the realms of art between two countries: Russia and Canada. Originally from Moscow, Maria embarked on a journey that led her to Canada in 2009. There, she pursued Business Administration studies at the University of Quebec in Montreal. The vibrant artistic atmosphere of the "North American Montmartre" kindled Maria's childhood passion for painting, prompting her to rekindle her artistic pursuits. After completing her academic studies, Maria made the bold decision to forge a career in the realm of art.

Maria Petroff defines her artistic style as critical realism, a mode of expression that resonates with her fascination for individuals who have left an indelible mark on history. Whether they be politicians, scientists, artists, philosophers, or fictional characters, Maria is drawn to capturing their essence on canvas. Her inspiration stems from contemporary world events, and she engages in in-depth research to uncover the often overlooked or alternative aspects of historical narratives. This unbiased approach allows Maria to depict long-forgotten historical events and draw thought-provoking parallels with the present. Infused with a touch of light humor, her works serve as poignant reflections on contemporary social and political issues.

Actively participating in international art contests and exhibitions, Maria Petroff's artistic prowess has garnered recognition. She has also contributed her artistic talents to book covers, collaborating with the esteemed author and economist, V. Katasonov. Notably, her painting found a place of honor in the pages of the Swiss weekly magazine Die Weltwoche.
