The Quiet Shoulder with Exaggerated Hairdressing

Gravity ascends, a whisper rests on silence, vast horizons breathe.

A surreal female portrait stands in a sparse desert expanse. Her impossibly tall white hair rises like a sculpture, balanced by oversized glasses and patterned attire. A small ladybug perches lightly on her shoulder, adding a delicate note of symbolism to the still, minimal atmosphere.

This work embodies minimal surrealism: exaggeration held against emptiness. The hair becomes a vertical monument, absurd yet elegant, while the insect is an understated allegory of fragility. The barren backdrop amplifies presence through absence, linking portraiture with symbolic silence.

Influencing Artists: René Magritte, Paul Cézanne, André Derain, James Jean, Hannah Höch
