Original artwork description:

*Blue Prince* (50x50cm, oil on canvas, 2024) by Dominic Virtosu is an evocative and thought-provoking painting that seamlessly blends whimsy with profound introspection. The work presents a horse reclining in a bathtub—a surreal juxtaposition of strength and vulnerability that challenges conventional perceptions. With its striking simplicity, the painting invites the viewer to contemplate themes of identity, self-awareness, and transformation.

Virtosu masterfully contrasts the horse’s symbolic association with power and freedom against the intimacy of the confined, domestic setting, prompting a meditation on the tension between external perceptions and internal truths. The piece’s title, *Blue Prince*, alludes to the complexities of visibility—suggesting that being seen is not the same as being understood.

This painting is a captivating exploration of the intersection between the ordinary and the extraordinary, offering a layered narrative that speaks to both the playful and profound aspects of the human experience. For collectors seeking contemporary art that balances surreal imagery with emotional depth, *Blue Prince* is a compelling addition.
