Painting description

The image depicts a surreal scene in delicate, somewhat muted colors. The main figure is a doll-like girl in a bathtub, with open eyes and a slightly nonchalant expression, and beside her, comfortably curled up, a reddish dog. Earth tones dominate—browns, grays, with subtle accents of pink and red. The composition is intimate, tightly framed, focused on the relationship between the girl and her pet. The atmosphere is peculiar, somewhat oneiric, evoking a sense of an unreal everyday life. The artist’s style suggests expressionist influences, with slightly deformed shapes and dramatic color contrasts. The painterly technique, with bold, almost chaotic brushstrokes, lends the work a raw charm. The painting may elicit a mix of emotions—from warmth to unease. Looking at it, one might wonder: why is it like this? Perhaps it’s a metaphor for innocence in a world full of chaos? “This little dog looks very tired,” a child might say while gazing at the scene. The work evokes associations with a moment of calm, yet also with a hidden, indefinable tension. And now, a whole new thought emerges: what if this is only a strange dream?
