Summer & Winter 

"Summer & Winter" is a surreal painting by the British artist Michael Parkes, known for his intricate and enigmatic imagery. The work features a woman in a state of repose, perched atop a man in a richly adorned hat, surrounded by symbolic elements. The painting's overall theme is suggestive of the passage of time and the duality of nature, as well as the interconnectedness of the human experience. The woman, representing summer, embodies a sense of beauty and tranquility, while the man, representing winter, appears to be burdened and weighed down. The artwork's dreamlike atmosphere invites viewers to explore its hidden meaning and its ambiguous narrative.
