This surreal artwork intertwines natural forms and illusions, playing with perception and associations.

The piece is inspired by the idea of visual deception and the duality of perception. The dachshund’s reflection on the vase contrasts with the thorny vine-like form, creating tension between reality and imagination. The artist is exploring the symbolism of nature, domestic comfort, and the hidden threat embodied in the sharp thorns.

Viewers might feel a sense of mystery or slight unease, observing the contrast between the soft contours of the dog and the aggressive organic form. This piece invites contemplation on how deceptive appearances can be and what meanings lie beneath the surface.

The smooth, textured surface and stippling technique add depth and a tactile quality to the artwork. The dominant cool-toned palette enhances the atmosphere of restrained mysticism. The surrealist style blurs the line between reality and fantasy, encouraging viewers to see familiar forms in a new light.
