About the artwork

This surreal painting transports the viewer into a bizarre and unreal world in which reality is mirrored in a fascinating way. The central figure in this scene is undoubtedly a red elephant, on whose back a large tree with imposing roots grows, mirrored horizontally far offset from the original image on the left half of the picture. This surreal representation of the elephant and the tree creates a strong sense of connection between nature and animal.

The sky is crossed by a band of clouds that emphasises the horizon and adds a certain dynamism to the scene. The sun in the sky is mirrored as a red moon, adding to the surreal atmosphere and turning the natural order on its head. This reflection creates a sense of mystery and change.

The water surface below the elephant and the tree represents a calm and smooth sea on which the scene is reflected. The reflections of the tree roots and the elephant's back in the water surface add an extra dimension to the scene and reinforce the surreal effect.

A flagstone path extends into the scene and leads the viewer into this surreal world. This path symbolises the invitation to explore and discover the inexplicable elements of this world.

Overall, this painting challenges the viewer to think about the connection between nature and animals, the importance of reflections and mirroring, and the duality of reality. It is a fascinating work that leaves room for interpretation and reflection and invites the viewer to transcend the boundaries of reality.
