Untitled (Head and Bird)

Surrealists #28: This artwork by J. Andre Smith portrays a serene, dreamlike scene with a central female figure wearing a decorative, swirling helmet, her eyes closed in contemplation, set against a backdrop of abstract, flowing shapes and muted greens and yellows, where two birds gracefully soar above, creating a sense of movement and harmony; nearby, stylized sailboats navigate a swirling, circular sea, adding layers of depth and rhythm to the composition, evoking themes of tranquility and introspection.
