The painting titled "Two-Headed Chicken" is a striking example of Naïve art (primitivism) that blends elements of mythological painting with surreal motifs. Executed on paper using vibrant fluorescent paint and layered with gouache, the artwork creates an otherworldly scene featuring a fantastical, two-headed chicken. The use of luminous colors enhances its dreamlike quality, inviting viewers into a mythic universe that challenge traditional perceptions of reality. The piece exemplifies a playful yet profound exploration of myth and imagination through a naïve, primitive aesthetic.
