Enigma

Description of Art: Enigma encapsulates Michael Cheval’s signature “absurdist” philosophy: transforming logic into paradox and dreams into tangible form. The painting presents a meticulously detailed interior scene where objects and figures defy ordinary context—an umbrella shelters light instead of shade, reflections reveal alternate realities, and familiar motifs appear rearranged into visual riddles. The composition’s warm light and intricate perspective underscore a tension between serenity and curiosity. Through precise draftsmanship and theatrical symbolism, Cheval invites viewers to decode the mysterious order hidden within apparent contradiction.
