This painting shows a strange, half-animal, half-human figure standing on a beach. Its body is twisted, with sharp horns and a long neck, while its legs end in hooves. Behind it, two shipwrecked boats lie half-buried in the sand. The sky is wild, with swirling blue strokes, and the water looks rough. The artist used loose, sketchy lines to mix scary and dreamy shapes. The colors are bright but uneven, like a quick, messy draft. If you like this style, look up Luis Martínez Pedro for more of his work.
