See You Later...

More about See You Later...

...Alligator!

A surreal, psychedelic vision of nature’s most ancient predator, transformed into a prismatic dream of colors and light. Covered in iridescent scales and intricate dot patterns, the creature glows against the lush, otherworldly jungle. Its intense red eyes pierce through the vibrant haze, watching—perhaps waiting. The fusion of fluorescent hues, fluid textures, and intricate detailing makes the scene feel alive, as if the alligator exists in a parallel, dreamlike reality.

Artistic Statement: This piece blends psychedelic surrealism, Fauvism, and contemporary abstraction, turning the alligator into a mythic, luminescent being. The intricate dot work and swirling colors nod to pointillism and dreamscape aesthetics, while the jungle backdrop merges the boundaries between reality and hallucination. The phrase "See You Later..." teases the viewer—will this glowing predator return in a dream, or has it already been watching all along?

Influencing Artists: Henri Rousseau, Yayoi Kusama, Peter Max, Salvador Dalí, James Jean

Haiku:
Scales like neon stars,
jungle hums with hidden dreams,
watchful eyes still glow.
