Description
In Palermitain’s Slumber V, Salomé Stein unleashes a chaotic dream-world where mythology and urban reality collide. The 15 x 21 cm (5.9 x 8.3 inches) ink-on-paper work whirls viewers into a fantastical skyscape inhabited by serpentine dragons, bat-winged figures, and drifting vehicles.
At the center, hybrid creatures — part dragon, part bird — spiral upwards from a tiled mound, their wings unfurled in dramatic flight. The scene is punctuated by winding, broken roads and floating trams, introducing a jarring, almost dystopian element to the otherwise mythical setting. Tiny stars pepper the background, enhancing the sensation of boundless space.
Stein’s restrained yet lively ink work contrasts stark, black shapes against delicate, detailed patterns like scales, feathers, and roadways. The composition feels weightless, as if gravity has been suspended, allowing beasts, buildings, and streets to float in a surreal choreography.
The overall effect is one of volatile transformation — a narrative without borders, where city and fantasy, structure and instinct, dissolve into a single fevered vision.
