(Female Head)

‘Female Head’ is another surreal portrait, similar to the Clown/Clownhead series. In this work, the head of a woman is depicted using a composition of animals and a trumpet.
The woman’s eyes are formed on the left by part of the head of a cockatoo bird and the right, the eye of a fish. Her mouth is a great swan floating on water and her hair, complete with a hairpin in the shape of a dynamic sphere, is formed by a cobra.
The trumpet connects all these animals together, forming the nose and bringing the entire composition together.
