A surrealist oil painting depicts an otherworldly landscape with a large group of figures, a checkered floor, and other mysterious objects. In the foreground, four stylized, gender-ambiguous figures are positioned on a large black and white checkered floor, resembling a chessboard. Two of these figures, one entirely blue and another half blue and half a brownish-orange color, are seated on the lower left of the checkered surface, facing towards the right. The blue figure is in an upright pose, while the brownish-orange and blue figure leans on their right arm. To their right, three standing figures are depicted. One figure, almost entirely blue, stands upright, looking towards the viewer. Behind and to the right of the blue figure, a brownish-orange figure is partially obscured by a draped purple cloth, positioned as if moving forward, with arms bent. To the right of the blue figure, a purple figure stands with their back mostly towards the viewer, also partially obscured by a purple cloth.
The checkered floor extends towards the upper right of the painting. To the left of the checkered floor, a pool of reflective water shows the reflections of the sky and some of the elements from the background. On the right side of the water, a skeleton of neon stagiaire ecole, standing in a sleek cream 1950s glamour suit and holding a vintage microphone, gazes upward toward a massive, ornate lionfish swimming through a star‑studded night sky; double‑focus split diopter composition with the foreground subject sharply rendered on the left and the distant lionfish sharply rendered on the right, a subtle soft‑focus transition between them, emphasizing the tension between near and far, with psychedelic glitch‑art fins glowing golden and teal, silhouetted uniformed soldiers behind, deep‑blue and gold cinematic lighting, surreal liquid‑like textures and vibrant neon palette.
