About This Painting

"Relax" measures 180x130 cm and is meticulously crafted using oil on canvas. The scene is set by a tranquil lakeside, where two figures—one clad in a white bikini and the other in a red sports jacket—capture the essence of leisure and peaceful repose. The backdrop, detailed with a reflective lake under a soft sky, enhances the mood of calmness and relaxation.

Whimsical, colorful bunnies float around the figures, adding a layer of surrealism and playfulness. These elements contrast with the naturalistic setting, infusing the painting with a dreamlike quality that invites viewers to escape into their own thoughts of tranquility.
