A still life about the moment we stop moving passively through life. About refusing to simply drift along, be consumed by expectations, or remain silent inside someone else’s order. ___ “The Taste of Paradox” is a series of surreal still lifes that explores the harmony of contradictions. This collection is a personal redefinition of beauty, where the attractive and the unsettling coexist in a single, vivid space. By blending classic imagery of fruit and cutlery with surreal anatomical forms, these works reflect the allure of the incompatible. It is not an exploration of fear, but an invitation to accept the non-existent. In this scarlet world, the "ugly" becomes elegant, and the "strange" becomes vital. ___ Art is hand-drawn in Procreate
