About the Item

Shipping Procedure FREE Shipping Worldwide Ships in a well-protected tube from Nigeria This work is unique, this is not a print or other type of copy. Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity. This artwork portrays a compelling figure centered in a harmonious blend of realism and surrealism. The subject is a dignified man dressed in an elaborate blue garment adorned with intricate patterns and bold red accents. The garment's design, reminiscent of a majestic tapestry, commands attention through its meticulous detailing and vibrant contrasts. Notably, the figure cradles a small goat, painted with soft, lifelike textures, giving the scene an almost pastoral serenity. The goat's calm demeanor and the man's gentle hold suggest a profound connection with nature and a sense of peaceful coexistence. Surrounding the figure is a backdrop of lush, oversized florals in hues of pink and purple. These blossoms, meticulously detailed, enhance the composition's overall ornate quality and inject a surreal vitality into the scene. The contrast between the natural floral elements and the stately human figure is striking, creating a vivid interplay between humanity and the natural world. Adding to the artwork’s uniqueness is the peculiar inclusion of an abstract facial feature on the man—a blue, tear-shaped element that replaces one of his eyes. This distinctive detail draws viewers into a deeper inquiry about the subject's inner world and experiences, leaving a lasting impression of enigmatic allure. Overall, the intricate patterns, the serene animal presence, the lush floral surroundings, and the surreal facial detail collectively establish this artwork as a distinctive and thought-provoking piece, marrying elegance with mystique.
