Sphinx 

"Sphinx" is a painting by American artist Alex Gross, known for his vibrant and detailed works that blend elements of pop culture, surrealism, and social commentary. This particular piece depicts a young woman with red hair, wearing a striped shirt and a heart-shaped pendant, sitting on a patterned couch with a black cat resting on her lap. The woman's expression is stoic, her eyes gazing directly at the viewer, creating a sense of mystery and intrigue. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation and introspection, inviting the viewer to ponder the relationship between the woman and the cat, and the deeper meanings behind the seemingly mundane scene.
