LARGE SURREALIST OIL PAINTING – DRAMATIC SYMBOLIST COMPOSITION
This large vintage surrealist oil painting immediately captivates with its haunting imagery and theatrical composition.

Set against a glowing sunset and architectural ruins, this figurative canvas artwork reflects the influence of European symbolism and surrealist philosophy. The scene feels like a stage—frozen in time, heavy with meaning.
SIGNED ORIGINAL BY VIRGILE VAN MALDER – 1970s BELGIAN ART
