Composition 13 (Surreal Portrait with Fish)

A poised, masklike profile inhabits a muted field of greys and ochres, its half-lidded gaze suspended between wakefulness and dream, as if the figure is listening inward rather than looking outward. Around the face, stylized fish and a tulip-like bloom orbit as symbolic emissaries—instinct, desire, and renewal—flattened into bold, interlocking planes that recall both collage and modernist figuration. The restrained palette and velvety transitions of light create a quiet psychological pressure, suggesting an intimate ecology where thought and nature intermingle, and identity becomes a carefully composed habitat.
