This large-scale painting was inspired by a dream I had. While riding a motorbike along the coast. In the dream, I arrived at a quiet beach where I met a girl standing near the water. The atmosphere felt calm, surreal, and emotionally charged, as if suspended between reality and imagination. When I kissed her, she transformed into a fox statuette.
The painting does not aim to illustrate the dream literally, but to recreate its emotional intensity and psychological atmosphere. The glowing circle at the centre suggests a portal, a memory, or a moment of transformation, while the flowing patterns and reflections evoke the unstable and poetic nature of dreams.
Within the landscape, there is also a darker presence: a figure of the devil partially hidden behind a tree, watching. This element introduces a sense of inner tension and moral weight. It reflects the feeling I had in the dream of being observed by something unseen, almost like a part of my own conscience. The sense of guilt emerges here—not as a clear narrative guilt, but as an emotional residue, as if the act of transformation and intimacy carried a hidden consequence or emotional risk. The devil becomes a symbol of doubt, temptation, and self-awareness, suggesting that even in moments of beauty or connection, there can be an underlying shadow of uncertainty.
The figures within the landscape represent connection, vulnerability, and the unexpected ways in which people, memories, and emotions can change form. The fox becomes a symbol of mystery, transformation, and the fragile boundary between the real and the imagined.
Through colour, scale, and atmosphere, I wanted to create a space that invites viewers to reflect on their own dreams, emotions, and inner journeys, where beauty and discomfort often coexist.
