AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Beyond Perception: A Vivid Exploration of Form and Color
This striking, abstract and surreal painting is titled "Beyond Perception". It is an original artwork created by the artist Mihai Denis using acrylic on canvas.
Visual Description
Style and Composition: The artwork employs a cubist-influenced style with bold, flowing lines and fragmented forms, creating a sense of movement and distorted reality. The composition is dominated by an abstract human face with large, dark eye sockets at the center, surrounded by a complex interplay of organic shapes and figures.
Colors and Mood: The color palette is vibrant and expressive, featuring saturated tones of yellow, green, red, blue, and orange that blend into one another. This use of color contributes to an energetic and somewhat dreamlike or surreal mood, where emotional impact is prioritized over realistic depiction.
Elements: The painting incorporates various abstract elements that suggest different forms, including what might be interpreted as musical instruments or other figures on the right, and a smaller, distinct face with an open eye in the lower-left portion of the canvas.
The painting challenges traditional perceptions of reality, inviting the viewer to explore the subconscious imagery and internal states that artists like those in the Surrealism movement often sought to portray.
