About this work

This drawing is packed with wild colors and strange shapes. A man hangs upside down between two elephants, while a green-faced figure with big eyes looks up at him. Bright lamps float in the sky, and a building with domes sits in the background. Birds, fish, and swirling patterns fill the edges. The mix of animals, people, and floating objects feels dreamlike. The artist used bold lines and bright colors to tell a story that doesn’t look real. Want to see more by this artist? Check out Schuldhess, Jörg Shimon.
