Untitled 4 (The Dreamer)

A hybrid creature—part lion, part human—turns back on itself in a posture that feels both theatrical and wary, its softened gaze contradicting the potency of its mane and haunches. The saturated orange field flattens depth into a stage-like void, while the gold, tessellated ground reads as a brittle territory—ornamental yet unstable—against which the figure’s pale body becomes a living rupture. Curving forms and abrupt color inversions (the black tail, the darkened arm) suggest an identity stitched from opposites, as if myth has been reassembled into a modern allegory of displacement. In this tension between the decorative and the uncanny, the work offers a quiet meditation on vulnerability masked as strength.
