peculiar visitor

by Philip Hofmänner

The work presents an extremely interesting scene like from an indie horror game, which draws us in so that we can experience an exciting and terrifying adventure. Great colors created on the basis of contrast, which enhance the atmosphere, keep us in suspense. An overturned frame suggests dynamism and a desire to run away. The red figure, resembling a human figure, glances at the foreground boater with its unnaturally long neck, which gives us shivers. Will he get her?
