Fever dream (triceratops), Oil, About wooden panel, 35.4 x 27.8 cm / 14 × 11 in

Description

In this painting, a monumental triceratops skull floats suspended inside a tunnel, defying both gravitational logic and linear temporality.

The fossil, a symbol of a remote and extinct past, is inserted into a contemporary urban infrastructure, generating a scene that oscillates between the scientific, the archaeological, and the fantastical. The work suggests a layering of temporalities in which natural history erupts into the present as a spectral apparition.
