Work by a contemporary master of magic realism from his early period. The artist, creating in a characteristic style, transfers the inspiration of Baroque art, surrealism and literature, into the original world of his imagination. Thus, uncommon works of art are created, delighting in the freedom in the construction of the picture space and realistic rendering of details. The offered composition draws attention to the color dominance of warm ochre and shimmering play of chiaroscuro. The striking motif, which works on the imagination, and the harmoniously built space absorb the viewer's attention.
