Sympathy 1955

"Sympathy" (1955) by Mexican surrealist painter Remedios Varo depicts a figure seated in a chair, attending to a spiky, red creature lying on a table, while a stream of liquid spills from a vase on the table, all under a shower of golden threads. This scene, painted with meticulous detail, is characteristic of Varo's dreamlike, symbolic style. The glowing, celestial elements and the seemingly interwoven threads suggest a mystical or esoteric connection between the two beings, invoking themes of empathy, transformation, and the unknown.
