inspiration 2015

Michael Cheval’s 2015 surrealist painting, “Inspiration,” depicts a figure dressed as a jester, holding a lamp, standing in a dimly lit room with a vintage typewriter. The jester's costume and the typewriter suggest a whimsical and playful approach to creativity. The presence of light emanating from the lamp and the figure’s pose suggests a moment of inspiration. The painting evokes a sense of mystery and wonder, inviting viewers to contemplate the nature of creativity and the role of inspiration in the creative process.
