Head- and- shoulder portrait of a surreal humanoid figure set against a decaying, abstract void. Inspired by Zdzisław Beksinski. The subject’s head tilts slightly forward and to the side, partially turned, eyes unseen beneath a fused bone- and- cloth mask stretched tightly across the face. The mask is cracked and flaking, formed of brittle bone, dried sinew, and darkened parchment. Small metallic fragments and exposed fibers pierce through the decayed surface. The headpiece emerges upward in a warped, asymmetrical shape—half- collapsed horns or twisted antler- like protrusions. Its surface is eroded and fossilized, splitting at the tips like broken roots. No symmetry. No pattern. Only ruin. The figure’s skin is papery, ash- toned, stretched tight across cheekbones and collar. It bears dry fractures and exposed veins beneath the surface, barely holding form. Neck tendons are visible, as if the body is preserved mid- disintegration. The background is a blackened fog of muted green and brown, with indistinct shapes—partial limbs, distant ribs, forgotten architecture—fading into a painterly haze. Wisps of dust and ash drift across the frame. Lighting is dim and directional from the lower left, casting upward shadows across the face and emphasizing texture. No expression. No movement. Stillness frozen before collapse. Atmospheric. Monochrome. Dreamlike. Death rendered quiet
