Painting description

This painting is a true kaleidoscope of emotions and visual sensations. At first glance, we are struck by a dark, somewhat brooding palette of greens, browns, and golden tones. Geometric shapes dominate; the figures are elongated, somewhat reminiscent of marionettes. The atmosphere of the work is both unsettling and surprisingly captivating. The artist has managed to capture something elusive, something between a dream and a nightmare. The style recalls surrealism with a touch of the grotesque. The artist deftly balances on the boundary between reality and fantasy. The use of light is intriguing; on the one hand it draws the eye, on the other it heightens the mystery. The emotions the painting may evoke are varied. It might be a slight shiver, but also fascination. The child figure sitting on a postcolonial marionette may symbolize innocence colliding with relentless time. My cat would probably be scared of that skeleton. Every element here comes together into a single word: uncanny. And although it may seem intimidating, the air of mystery makes it hard to look away. Does the painting speak of the fragility of life, or is it just a waking dream? Only the artist knows, and we can spin our own reflections. Fascinating, don’t you think?
