Original artwork description:

This painting captures a calm yet enigmatic moment: a woman sits at a table with a laptop, accompanied by a black cat with piercing yellow eyes. Their tranquility contrasts with the vivid red wall behind them, which adds depth and a touch of mystery. A painting on the wall, depicting a figure in a rainy landscape, enhances the melancholic mood. The scene suggests harmony between the woman and the cat, but also contains an undercurrent of tension—like a paused moment from daily life, filled with silent meanings.
Her expression is calm but introspective, as if she has just discovered something fascinating on her screen—or maybe she’s simply wondering what to make for dinner. A small bouquet of flowers in a blue vase adds freshness, softening the intense red and green tones.
For me, this work symbolizes the quiet corners of the digital world where we can retreat with our thoughts—and a cat. It's a scene that invites everyone to find a bit of themselves in it: a fragment of the everyday, a dream, a quiet mystery.
