“Existence, Growth and Love” presents a surrealistic portrait of a nude female figure lying face down, with her head lifted and cut off at eye level to provide a planter for houseplants. The figure appears relaxed, and the overall image is pleasant. As André Breton, one of the founders of the surrealist movement, once said: “The imaginary is what tends to become real.” In this sense, my drawing can be seen as an attempt to bring the imaginary from the realm of the unconscious mind into reality through surrealistic imagery.
The use of a nude female figure can be seen as representing existence, while the houseplants growing out of her head symbolize growth. The relaxed and pleasant nature of the figure suggests a sense of love and harmony.
