This painting offers the viewer a dreamlike vision, where soft pastel shades flow into each other, creating an atmosphere of calm and surrealism. Its appearance seems to open a door to a world where familiar things obey the laws of imagination. The girl does not simply care for the zebra - she carefully erases its black stripes and hangs them on a rope, as if the stripes are something external that can be washed away and renewed. This amazing image evokes associations with purification and transformation: even what we perceive as unchangeable can be rethought and renewed by doing it gently. The zebra, striped of its stripes, appears before us in a new light, like a clean canvas, ready for change. It is a symbol of our own inner world, where we can “wash away” old ideas about ourselves and create new boundaries and forms. Ideal for those who appreciate art that combines fantasy and everyday life, offering both peace and mystery in one impressive image. A vibrant yet harmonious colour palette will become the central element of any interior, attracting attention and sparking the imagination.
