Artwork description

This painting, The Magician (Hieronymus Bosch Improvisation) (2021), reimagines a medieval scene through a vivid, modern lens. A gathering of figures, rendered in fragmented neon greens, reds, and oranges, fills the canvas with a sense of both spectacle and distortion. Their forms overlap and blur, suggesting a crowd caught between reality and illusion.

At the right, a magician emerges, sharply outlined in red and green. His gesture is theatrical, commanding the attention of the crowd, while his presence radiates both authority and trickery. The stark contrast between his figure and the chaotic layering of the onlookers highlights the tension between performer and audience, deception and belief.

The abstract geometry and saturated palette dissolve the boundaries of the scene, creating a dreamlike atmosphere. It feels less like a depiction of an event than a meditation on perception itself—how easily the eye, and the mind, can be led into wonder, distraction, or illusion.
