Original artwork description:

The painting titled "The Red Monarch Among Chaos" represents a still life in which the combination of objects acquires symbolic and contrasting meaning. The central figure is a lobster—a symbol of luxury, status, and sophistication—dubbed the "monarch" for its majestic and dominant beauty. It is surrounded by items that embody the chaotic interplay of different eras and cultures, such as fast food, symbolizing the modern rush and mass culture, and pears, representing natural simplicity and traditional values.

This composition invites reflection on the contrasts between old and new, natural and artificial, valuable and mundane. The lobster, as the "red monarch," stands at the center of this chaos, emphasizing the tension between the pursuit of the sublime and the immersion in everyday hustle. The painting can be interpreted as a metaphor for contemporary society, where the abundance of choices and cultural contradictions create a complex yet captivating world.
