More about The Potato Peel Lover’s Jaundice

Fingers stain golden,
bitter peels cling to silence,
tea whispers secrets.

A gaunt man, jaundiced and sunken, sits stiffly at a table, his long fingers resting on the cloth as if measuring reality. A single red rose tilts toward him, its leaves curling unnaturally. The potatoes in his bowl seem too perfect, too knowing. Outside, faceless figures wander the sand, their presence as unsettling as his vacant stare. Something lingers, unseen—waiting.

Artistic Statement: This piece blends surrealism, psychological realism, and symbolic storytelling, evoking unease through distorted form and hyperreal color contrasts. The stark lighting echoes Magritte and de Chirico, while the elongated facial features and skeletal hands recall Francis Bacon’s psychological grotesque. The visual narrative is intentionally fragmented, forcing the viewer into a haunting meditation on isolation, decay, and routine’s quiet horror.

Influencing Artists: @zebadri (modifiers), René Magritte, Giorgio de Chirico, Francis Bacon, Salvador Dalí, Balthus
