This surreal portrait painting with her intense gaze that pierces through the canvas, and captures the viewer's attention. The subjects face is adorned with intricate geometrical patterns that create a striking contrast against her smooth skin. The patterns seem to radiate from her eyes and highlight her piercing stare. The overall effect is dreamlike and otherworldly, inviting the viewer to ponder the mysterious beauty of this captivating figure.
The inspiration for the portrait actually emerged from a surreal (“Alice in wonderland” like) dream. The fantasy character symbolizes a (crumbling) mozaïek statue, coming to life in a garden labyrinth. The eyes and intense gaze, tell a tale of bizarre adventures in this lucid dream. As the story unfolds, the cold stone figure, changes into a warm human body, with the ability to feel real emotions. Showing off a beautiful face, and dazzling appearance, dressed in an eccentric leopard skin costume, with a jewel studded headdress. The sound of happy feet, dance across the life size chessboard, while getting lost in the garden maze, to finally waking up as a surrealistic piece of art. Was it really a dream? :-)
