The painting transports the viewer into a surreal dream world full of contradictions and tension. The scene is characterized by a surreal atmosphere in which a man rides a fish that inexplicably floats in the air. The smoking fish looks like a creature from another world, a symbol of the unknown and mysterious. The surrealism of this image stimulates the imagination and raises questions. Why is the fish floating in the air How can the man be riding on it This surreal scene is like a window into another reality, full of riddles and secrets. The depiction of different eras in one picture reinforces the surreal quality. The presence of airplanes, biplanes, a carriage and a mammoth in the same scene seems inconsistent in time and reinforces the impression of a dream or a fantastic vision. The surroundings are also multi-layered and fascinating. A meadow stretches out in the foreground, while mountains, a lake and clouds can be seen in the background. The picture frame and the window give the impression that the viewer is looking into another world or dimension, which reinforces the surreal and dreamlike atmosphere. The scene seems to be a mixture of reality and imagination, a world in which the impossible becomes possible. This painting is not only thought-provoking, but also challenges us to explore the limits of imagination and accept the unusual and absurd. It shows how art can transport us into a world where reality and fantasy merge and inspire us to new thoughts and ideas.
