Original artwork description
“Time to move!” — that’s what the opening song from a children’s show called Chuggington used to say when I watched it with my younger sister, ages ago. There was something eerie about those characters — locomotives with faces glued to their fronts, their jaws moving awkwardly, their bodies trapped within narrow tracks and intersections.
Even then I wondered: Can’t they ever step off the rails and go where they want?
The bright trains always stood out sharply against the empty, endless green landscapes. I remember feeling uneasy, watching it.
In this painting, the animal figures seem to be waking from their concrete sleep. They are not fully alive yet — their eyes are vacant, but their bodies appear ready to move. They exist somewhere between presence and absence, between stillness and awakening.
The painting is ready to hang and will be delivered in secure, multi-layered packaging, insured and tracked to ensure its safety during transport. Each work comes with a hand-signed Certificate of Authenticity, confirming its originality.
