From my series of portraits, this painting represents a landscape that I took a picture of during a walk. I tried to infuse a notion of movement and dynamism by the incorporation of fictitious and irrelevant characters.
The different elements, both visually and symbolically, are in contradiction: a man on fire, white Russian greyhounds, a demon, ghostly faces, a bird that seems to belong here.
My intention was to portray a moment between dream and nightmare.
