A wide aspect ratio surrealist oil on canvas-style painting titled 'The Tortoise has a Turquoise Dream.' The scene depicts a vast, imaginary African landscape under a turquoise sky with sparse orange clouds. Exotic, surreal animals populate the scene: giraffes with zebra stripes, pink flamingo-ostrich hybrids, peacock-ostriches with colorful plumes, zebras with elongated necks, four-legged birds, and a flying tortoise drifting above. In the distance, giant vivid-blue baobab trees resemble enormous mushrooms, adding to the otherworldly environment. At the center of the landscape, there is a humanoid figure with a bright turquoise mask-like face twisted in a wide-eyed, open-mouthed expression, creating a sense of grotesque energy. The figure's dynamic pose and dark, earthy-toned body are adorned with feather-like wings, suggesting a chaotic, violent dance. The contrast between the figure's dark tones and its glowing turquoise face emphasizes its surreal and striking appearance against the vibrant landscape, enhancing the dreamlike, imaginative quality of the scene.
