Original artwork description:

This surreal and playful piece draws inspiration from René Magritte's iconic painting The Son of Man. In a twist on the original, a black cat takes the place of the famous green apple, obscuring the man's face and inviting the viewer into a world of whimsy and mystery. Like Magritte’s work, this painting challenges the boundaries of perception and identity, while adding a humorous and feline touch. The calm and composed figure contrasts with the unpredictable nature of the cat, creating a balance between the familiar and the absurd.

Dark navy blue (coat, hat)
Bright red (tie)
Black (cat)
Soft greys and whites (background, sky)
Light blue (water)
Beige and tan (skin tones)
