Introduction
Rider Esponosa's "Birthday" is an oil painting deeply influenced by surrealism, filled with exuberant and vivid imagination. The creatures and scenes in the painting seem to merge with each other, while the rich use of color enhances the sense of fantasy. Each element appears to symbolize a metaphor, offering a glimpse into the artist's reflections on life and nature. This work showcases how Esponosa reinterprets surrealism through his rural background and unique perspective, drawing inspiration from Dali and Bosch.
