Painting description

The painting stands out with intense colors, where warm shades of red and orange contrast with a cool blue in the background. The figure of a child with an elongated, unnatural nose is placed in the center, which immediately draws attention. It’s a bit like the Pinocchio fairy tale, but more surreal. The composition feels unsettling, which heightens the work’s atmosphere. The artist used a thick, impasto-like paint texture to emphasize expression. The technique? You could call it a blend of surrealism and primitivism. Each brushstroke shows a certain rawness. This “rough” approach evokes both nostalgia and unease. Looking at the child, you can feel a sense of disquiet. It is lonely, perhaps a bit lost in all that space. As if slightly frightened. Why does it have such a nose? To me, this work speaks about accepting oneself, even though the world can be strange and not always friendly. Perhaps art is precisely such a mirror of emotions, deep enough that everyone will find something personal in it. The mystery emanating from the painting makes it hard to look away. It sparks thoughts about otherness and originality, about what makes us unique. “Why does he have such a big nose?” a child would ask. And it is precisely that question that pushes us toward our own reflections.
