Disturbing presence 1959

"Disturbing Presence" is a 1959 surrealist painting by Mexican artist Remedios Varo. The painting depicts a woman in a flowing white robe sitting in a chair, with her back turned to the viewer. A man's face emerges from the back of the chair, gazing out of the painting at the viewer. The woman's body and the chair are connected by a series of thin, white strings that lead to the ground. The artwork's dreamlike quality and strange imagery are characteristic of Varo's surrealist style. "Disturbing Presence" explores themes of identity, isolation, and the fragility of human connection. The painting is a masterful blend of realism and fantasy.
