Mind Blowing (vintage car surrealist oil painting grey monochrome dessert cake)
By Rudolf Kosow
Located in Quebec, Quebec
Two photographic motifs, which can by no means fit together in real life, result in a coherent and at the same time completely absurd image on the painting level. Something that has happened, you can see things clearly in front of you and still do not understand how often in real life what it all means.
