A collection of antique, polished silver cutlery – forks, knives, and spoons – are inexplicably transformed into objects of extreme softness and ridiculously elongated, each piece individually tied with fluffy, red yarn to each other. They are arranged meticulously in a Spanish Dali style landscape, illuminated by the bright mid-day sunlight. The contrast between the expected metallic sharpness and the rendered soft and elongated texture is central to this surreal, still-life composition that owes much to Dali and his long-legged elephant, but also reflects some Max Ernst decalcomania and Georgio de Chirico's eery stillness. Style is hyperrealistic with a touch of gentle absurdity with cryptid creatures in the background and the Mystics Bogomil Universe style elements. The antique part of it should be very visible, baroque but melting elaborate decorated tableware ridiculously deformed. If Dali's cat would somehow appear tossed across the scene in the background out of a bucket of water, I would not be disappointed. But the ridiculously deformed tableware should dominate the foreground.
A surreal desert landscape with a light blue sky and white cumulus clouds. In the foreground, four metallic silver forks and knives, oversized and bent, are tied together by red strings with red fluffy balls at the intersections. The utensils appear to be made of a textured, leather-like material with ornate silver designs on the handles. To the left, a large, bent silver spoon also rests on the ground. In the mid-ground, a dark figure with a hood stands beneath a crumbling stone archway. Further back, several Salvador Dalí-esque elephants with long, spindly legs walk across the desert floor. In the upper left of the sky, a cheetah with a spotted coat is suspended mid-air, next to a black bucket from which water splashes out. In the distant background, a pale white column with a delicate tip is visible.
