The perspective is really messing me up. I feel like I'm a baby who's just been born

That’s what I thought with the leopard “grooming” the child

The leapord can also represent the British culture of taking things from others like predator back than rlly great that you can find your own meaning to it

That's creepy, oddly I'm scared more of the boy than the feline.

Wow, this is some Scarface level bling right here. If I was wealthy, I'd happily part with a grand for this one.
(Sorry if I'm low-balling, I'm but a mere peasant, lol.)

Haha literally came here to make this same recommendation. Amazing Lorca paintings and absurdly huge with so much detail. Some of them 12-15 feet across.

LSD has that effect. Sometimes in too public of places for the tame and sane.

This has some Gabriel Garcia Marquez magic realism vibes

I was literally there yesterday, by chance, and returned to Copenhagen/Denmark today. It was mind blowing.

Bro the cat’s eye on the dark side of its head is more dilated. Loving the detail

predator grooming a child yeah
spitehouserow t1_it6ozm4 wrote
Makes me think of the predatory nature of British colonialism and how some people will make the argument that it was actually beneficial despite the very real and obvious damage it did. The message to me is “don’t get in bed with the English” they seem benign but they are predators and will eat you alive.

This is both amazing and creepy at the same time

That's what I took from the title.

That is a masterpiece work! I loved it.

Very cool, but it’s bugging me that the pillow isn’t even slightly indented from the cat’s weight. Is is supposed to be like an apparition?
memonemo129 OP t1_it731ji wrote
Could be! When I was analyzing this at first I actually saw the leopard as a guardian angel instead of a predator (the arms kind of resemble wings in a way)

I'm so glad you said this, I had no idea, I was trying to figure out what the relation to the title was lol

Chilean artist!! And a great one.

I was thinking the same thing. It’s creepy!
Bookworm_Hairstylist t1_it7i8o2 wrote
That's interesting! It felt predatory to me, at first, but I can see what you mean. Man, this is what I LOVE about art! So open to interpretation!

Niiiiice! I can see that.

I don't see any sort of maliciousness in the leopard here. To me the leopard seems to be representing the mother, strong and fierce in protecting her child while also licking him with care and love like how my mother used to give me a goodnight kiss as a child

Yeah some people are saying it's about British colonialism but that seems like a stretch.

I can't tell if I should be amazed or terrified. It's beautiful, but it is terrifying at the same time.

Woah that's trippy, both lifelike and dreamlike
