Mechanical Dachshund

This painting is a remarkable blend of fantasy and allegory, guiding the viewer through a symbolic journey. The central figure—a mechanical dog with a winding key on its back—serves as an allegory for time, progress, and the tension between nature and technology. Its hybrid construction highlights the contrast between the mechanical and the organic, reflecting the constant transformation of contemporary society.

On the left, the solitary flower stands as a symbol of simplicity and resilience, juxtaposed against the mechanical nature of the dog. In the background, an old train and a lone figure by the water evoke memories of the past and the symbolism of travel and transition.

The overall tone of the painting is a mix of melancholy and surrealist humour, inviting the viewer to explore each detail and uncover multiple narrative layers.
