SURREAL JOURNEY

This painting opens into a world driven by motion and desire. A figure moves forward on a machine shaped by nature, its hybrid form—beetle and seahorse—suggesting a future assembled from fragments of what we admire, need, and long to preserve. The dominant orange hue acts as an emotional signal. Carrying warmth, urgency, and curiosity, it draws the viewer into a state of exploration rather than caution. It is the colour of momentum—of wanting to move, to discover, to push beyond what is known. The work reflects a deeper tension: our reliance on technology to help us move forward, and the quiet fear that it may one day replace what it was inspired by. Balancing wonder with quiet unease, the painting invites viewers to consider progress not as a destination, but as a journey shaped by imagination, desire, and the human urge to have everything at once.
