About "If you pay peanuts, you get monkeys"

by Art By Coolen

About the artwork

If you pay peanuts, you get monkeys is a cheerful, colourful painting full of playful shapes, funny faces – and of course, monkeys. The canvas is packed with bold colours and quirky forms, with big eyes peeking out everywhere. Look closely and you’ll spot peanuts floating around, expressive monkey faces, and even a hidden yellow moustache.

The title comes from a well-known saying: "If you pay peanuts, you get monkeys." It’s a light-hearted comment on what happens when you cut corners – a fun way to reflect on chaotic situations where things just don’t go as planned.

Painted in acrylic, the work uses strong colours and simple lines. The style is spontaneous and full of movement, created with a sense of joy and humour.

This painting brings colour, character, and a smile into any space. It’s perfect for people who love playful art – and who don’t mind poking fun at life from time to time.
