Painting description

This painting depicts a hanging pig carcass, which not everyone should see. It is dominated by pink and flesh tones that contrast with the dark, almost black background, adding drama to the scene. The shapes are unrealistically rounded, and the brushstrokes reveal a rawness and primitivism that heighten the work’s emotional impact. The atmosphere is heavy, perhaps a bit unsettling, as if we were looking at something that ought to be hidden. At the same time, there is something fascinating about it—something that won’t let you look away. The painter’s style shows the influence of Expressionism, with bold, almost brutal strokes that lend the painting intense energy. The technique is loose, as if the artist allowed themselves full expression. It’s truly intriguing. “Wow,” someone might say, looking at this painting. Its sight can evoke ambivalent emotions—from disgust, through fascination, to a reflection on the fragility of life. From a child’s perspective, one might simply say: “It looks like a big pink balloon!” And someone else might simply ponder the symbolic side—what this painting says about us. Sometimes a painting can remind us of the inevitability of life and death. C’est la vie.
