Rothschild Surrealist Party is about the power of human imagination and the refined worlds we create within it. I wanted to capture that space where fantasy and elegance blend—where the mind turns the ordinary into something extraordinary. The faceless figure, wrapped in gold, is both a guest and a creation of its own imagined world, reflecting the playful surrealism that makes a gathering feel like a dream. The raw linen background contrasts with the deep black silhouette, playing with the idea of reality versus illusion. Gold details catch the light, shifting as you move, reminding us how perception is always changing. This piece is about the magic of artifice, the beauty of transformation, and how we shape our own myths.
