Original artwork description:

The Last Drink _x000D_ _x000D_ “One can think of hallucinatory images as akin to dream images, occurring in the same internal space where dreams occur but projected into the waking state. These hallucinations can be seen as a continuation of dreams, invading the day in narcoleptic individuals.”_x000D_ _x000D_ Oliver Sachs book “Hallucinations” _x000D_ _x000D_ 60x50cm _x000D_ Painted on canvas board. Would suit a big ornate frame. I’m a London-based artist, and my work often reflects vivid and surreal imagery inspired by my unique experience with REM intrusion—a condition where dream-like visions can appear while I’m awake. My paintings explore the boundary between waking reality and the dream world, using layered compositions to create a sense of depth and movement. I paint with high-quality materials and put a lot of thought into texture and detail. My process is a mix of intuitive brushwork and deliberate layering, aiming to create pieces that are rich in emotion and invite you to see something new each time you look at them. This piece will be carefully packaged using protective materials and dispatched via a tracked courier. If you have any questions or special requests, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
