Getaway Island Cruise: Mixed Media Symbolic Landscape 42x60 cm

In this surreal landscape, a monumental reclining figure lies embedded in a lush green field, its cracked, earth-like surface suggesting both geological time and human vulnerability. Fantastical blue trees frame the foreground, where an oversized crab moves quietly beneath branches like coral, blurring the line between land and sea. Above, a cruise ship travels across calm waters under an ominous red sky filled with billowing clouds.

Through its vivid palette and dreamlike juxtapositions, the work evokes themes of ecological tension, industrial intrusion, and the fragile coexistence of nature and humanity. The sleeping figure — part mountain, part body — anchors the composition, serving as a poignant reminder of the planet’s enduring presence amid human disruption. The scene oscillates between tranquility and unease, inviting reflection on our place within the natural world and the consequences of our passage through it.
