About the artwork

The surreal image shows a sleeping man sitting relaxed on an old, ornately decorated chair. His face is peaceful and untouched as he sinks into a deep sleep. A dramatic scene unfolds around him: the world seems to be turning into a chaotic cloud of debris rolling menacingly towards him.

The cloud of rubble consists of fragmented buildings and surreal objects reminiscent of the works of Salvador Dalí. These elements seem to float in a hypnotic dance, as if defying the laws of gravity. The colours are intense and rich in contrast - vibrant reds and sombre greys intermingle to create a sense of drama and unease.

The background is filled with a flooded cityscape reminiscent of Dalí's dream worlds. The sky is in unnatural colours, with swirling cloud formations that heighten the sense of movement and chaos.

Despite the impending doom, the man remains calm and untouched, creating an intriguing tension between the inner peace of sleep and the external threat. The painting invites the viewer to reflect on the fragility of reality and how we are often caught up in our own thoughts as the world around us descends into chaos. It is a haunting depiction of the contrast between tranquillity and destruction, inspired by the unique vision of one of the greatest surrealists.
