This whimsical painting depicts two figures frozen in an improbable, almost burlesque kiss. Their extravagant headdresses—one adorned with eggs and feathers, the other extended with a colourful horn—evoke the world of carnival and grotesque theatre. A bird perched on the headdress adds a touch of absurdity and mystery. The dark vegetal background contrasts with the bright colours of the characters, reinforcing the theatrical effect. The style is resolutely surrealist, with influences from James Ensor, puppet theatre, and commedia dell'arte. The subject revolves around love, the play of appearances, and the strange fusion between human and animal. Humour, tenderness and strangeness intermingle in a dreamlike composition. It is a work that questions the codes of portraiture and emotional connection with unbridled fantasy.
