The fish jumps, the man runs
View through Europeana Collections
The thematic range of George Vakalo's paintings includes landscapes, plants, birds, fantastical creatures, underwater scenes, abstract compositions and it operates within the framework of a unique poetic surrealism. His diverse combinations, otherworldly atmospheres, dreamlike dimensions of space, combined with meticulous attention to detail, restrained colour palettes, and an apparent decorative disposition, characterize his works. These artworks narrate paradoxical and unexpected stories.
