Original artwork description:

“Priority” is an original surreal oil painting that explores the eternal question of what truly holds value — the natural or the material, the spiritual or the tangible. The scene features ornate antique scales weighing smooth ocean stones against piles of golden coins. Seashells, bubbles, and sunken relics surround this central symbol of choice and balance.
The artwork speaks to themes of inner truth, the weight of decisions, and the priorities that shape our lives.
A perfect piece for those who love surrealism and thought-provoking art with layered meaning.

Materials used:

oil, canvas varnish
