They are Beasts 

Erik Thor Sandberg's "They Are Beasts" is a disturbing yet captivating oil painting that depicts a surreal and unsettling scene. The artwork features a woman in a white hood, sitting atop a skeletal figure, with a deer carrying a miniature city on its back in the background. A horrifying, multi-eyed creature appears to be hiding its face in horror, while a disfigured, fleshy baby lies in the foreground. Sandberg's use of vibrant colors and meticulous detail creates a jarring juxtaposition of beauty and grotesque imagery. The work's ambiguous narrative invites viewers to interpret its meaning, leaving them questioning the nature of good and evil, and the fragility of innocence.
