"M. Alice" is a striking exercise in contemporary surrealism, defined by a disorienting "double-vision" effect created by a stacked third eye. This anatomical distortion, paired with a cool blue palette and a sharp, vertical slash of visceral red, suggests a psyche fractured by internal tension.

The work’s depth is revealed through its titular wordplay, where the name "M. Alice" dissolves into the concept of "Malice." This linguistic layer transforms the portrait from a mere study of form into a deep exploration of the shadows within the human psyche.

This painting is a sophisticated study of the shadows we hide, inviting viewers to look past the composed exterior to the darker impulses simmering beneath.
