The face and form of an old man surrounded by a textured background, not only catches the viewer's attention, it raises questions as to who or what this person is.. Although the figure of the man appears to be emerging from the ether, the expression on his face is all too human. The color palette and swirling abstract patterns sets a contemplative mood. Is he real, or just a dream? Either way, I’m pretty sure he doesn’t want to be bothered with silly questions.
