Painting description

In the painting we see a surreal scene featuring the head of a child in a red hat. The little one’s eyes look slightly lost, and the cheeks are gently flushed. The colors are primarily warm shades of red and brown, which lend the whole piece a cozy feel while also adding a touch of unease. Red apples, suspended on strings, surround the figure like magical amulets. Something like small, zany figures with fanciful shapes adds a sense of chaos to the image. The atmosphere of the picture is somewhat dreamlike, balancing on the boundary between sleep and wakefulness. The artist employed mixed media, giving a sense of three-dimensionality and texture, as if we could touch each apple. What do I feel when I look at this painting? A bit as if I’ve been transported into a tale from another world. Because it’s like a fairy tale. The little one in the red hat reminds me of the doll I used to have. It evokes both childlike wonder and a slight unease, as if a secret were hidden somewhere. Overall, wow, this painting is magic and mystery woven together.
