On the Surface
A detailed, sinuous octopus emerges from a solid background. The artwork explores the contrast between flexible marine life and rigid geometric form
This pencil lithograph captures the surreal image of an octopus resting on a wooden block, away from its natural element. The artist emphasizes the complex texture of the tentacles and suckers against the smooth surface of the body. A visual exploration of the duality between organic freedom and structural restraint, inviting reflection on the boundaries between worlds and the resilience of life.
