"I Propose a Toast III"

This composition is part of an ongoing exploration by the artist, revisited in various forms throughout his career. It is a deeply personal painting that speaks to the absurdity and superficiality of certain nights spent drinking. The use of vivid, striking colors evokes an infrared-like vision, symbolizing the heightened sensations of pleasure and excess. The piece captures the surreal and exaggerated aspects of social gatherings, inviting viewers to reflect on the fleeting nature of indulgence and the often empty rituals that accompany such experiences. Through a combination of bold color choices and dynamic form, the artist captures both the allure and the absurdity of these nocturnal celebrations.
