This illustration project draws inspiration from the classic fine art tradition of depicting a reclining woman as the main focal point. While honoring that tradition, I gave it a modern twist: the woman, poised and calm, is entirely absorbed in her electronic device, oblivious to the extravagant feast, grotesque characters, and lively menagerie of animals surrounding her.
With this piece, I invite viewers to explore a surreal yet familiar world where presence is overshadowed by technology.
At the center of the composition is a woman who, traditionally a symbol of beauty and introspection, now embodies detachment in the modern age. Around her, a vibrant scene teeming with grotesque characters and a wild mix of animals, all lost in self-indulgence. The stark contrast between her calm indifference and her opulent surrounding highlights themes of excess, distraction, and disconnection, evoking reactions that are both humorous and unsettling.
