Original artwork description:

The painting, executed in oil paints on a wooden panel, is a vivid example of inspiration from medieval Dutch painting. The characteristic features of this style are the detail, the richness of the color palette and the image of both realistic and fantastic elements.
The painting presents a complex and multifaceted world where reality and fantasy are intertwined. In the center of the composition there is a figure with a mask in the form of an animal's head, which can symbolize mystery, or can allegorically represent human nature or another concept. This figure is sitting on a huge fish, surrounded by other mythical creatures.
The background landscape includes a number of different buildings, boats and other elements, each of which may have its own symbolism or meaning. The sky is filled with fantastic birds flying in different directions, which can speak of infinity and freedom.
The uniqueness of this painting lies in the harmonious combination of realistic and fantastic elements, which creates a sense of a world where the lines between reality and fiction are erased. The inspiration for the artist was religious and mythological motives, as well as the desire to explore the human psyche, its fears, desires and dreams.
In general, the painting is a vivid example of how traditional methods and modern ideas can be combined to create a work of art that evokes deep emotions in the viewer.
