Oil painting
The Surrealist
Original title: Surréaliste
A waxed moustache on top of a hollow shell, balanced on an elephant’s leg.
The homage could hardly be plainer: the moustache, the stilt-legged elephant, the melting watch that serves as a base. A red ribbon coils through the empty shell like orange peel. Novoro does not copy Dalí. He assembles him from his own props, with all the solemnity of an official portrait.

About the series
Each canvas in this cycle starts from a title — an expression, a brand, a slogan — and treats it as a subject for classical painting. The result is a chronicle of contemporary public life, in which power, money and belief appear as characters.
