Description of the Work

Surrealist/naïf work depicting a village teeming with figures in enigmatic poses.

Michonze’s style combines a Flemish precision with a dreamlike, melancholy atmosphere.

Each character seems to live an isolated story albeit in common space, creating a sense of poetic temporal suspension.
