Triangle

In the surreal painting "Triangle" by Motiejus Stonys, there is a central abstract creature resembling a whimsical, exaggerated animal form, set against a background divided distinctly into a sky and ground plane. The animal figure has an unusual, elongated shape with a pale, peach-toned body and a light brown, bushy texture on its back, reminiscent of an animal’s fur. On its torso, there are two dark, teardrop-shaped spots and a notable triangular object just below its midsection, presumably the triangle referenced in the title.Resting atop this creature is an oversized, dark red bulb or flower-like element, which adds to the whimsicality and surreal nature of the image. The creature's head is distinctively dog-like, with a protruding snout and long, drooping ears, creating a somewhat melancholic expression. It stands, or perhaps floats, over a large, floating black mass that is disturbingly akin to a shroud or cloud, within which there is another face-like form. This eerie face peering out has subtle, closed eyes and a slightly revealed mouth, adding a layer of mysterious, almost ominous narrative to the scene.The surrounding sky is rendered in dark, moody blue hues with wispy clouds, contrasting with the brighter and warmer tones of the ground. The word "BABA" floats in the sky, further contributing to the enigmatic and dream-like quality of the composition. The painting invites interpretations of its symbolic elements, playing with themes of perception, form, and the subconscious.
