Description

The armchair stands as an invitation to surrender to the blissful solitude of the mind. As one sinks into its embrace, the world around recedes, and the boundaries self-expand, allowing the viewer to journey inward. The canvas is but a portal to a realm where imagination takes flight, unfettered by external influences.
