Created for a friend who is both a gardener and plant enthusiast, Beyond the Frame combines surreal imagery with personal symbolism. The painting merges interior and exterior worlds: a bright landscape stretches through a “frame within the frame,” while inside, a man, his dog, and a flourishing indoor garden coexist in a dreamlike harmony. Orchids and desert plants—nods to the owner’s passions—appear alongside fantastical, AI-inspired motifs, weaving together reality and imagination. The result is a mystical, layered work that transforms the frame itself into a gateway between lived space and inner vision.
