A humorous reminder that speculation, bubbles, and illusions know no limits when profit floats above common sense. A playful fable in pastel disguise:
Where markets inflate, logic deflates — and even pigs believe in lift-off. Here, speculation floats like soap bubbles, bubbles burst like applause, and economic gravity politely steps aside.
🐖 A piggy so full of dreams (and coin),
it dares to ascend where common sense fears to tread.
“Even pigs dream of flight. Especially full ones.”

That when imagination meets inflation, anything can soar.

Beneath the polished surface of corporate logic, nonsense quietly thrives. Contracts grow like trees, coins hatch in squirrel nests, and absurdity becomes fertilizer for questionable progress.
A briefcase mind, a squirrel soul. Here, the logic of suits meets the whimsy of wonder: doves deliver clauses, coins grow on trees, and nonsense takes root – gloriously.
🌟 This piece unveils the quiet revolution within: Where authority dares to daydream, and growth begins not with order, but with playful disarray.
“Growth begins where nonsense is nurtured.”
✨ Let this advisor remind us:
Creativity often wears a tie – and secretly gardens absurdity.
🎭 Behind the curtain: Zero inflation. Maximum curiosity.
🎨 Hand-painted with joy, detail and a pinch of delightful nonsense.

THE MANIFESTO OF VISIONARY ABSURDISM
Art for the Awakened, the Weird, and the Wildly Alive
By Sonja Szlosek Art
2025 – Ireland – Earth (for now)
We believe:
That reality is ridiculous.
That beauty is urgent.
That the truth often wears a clown nose.
That imagination is a tool of survival.
That bureaucracy is an existential poem with too many stanzas.
That seriousness has become a performance. We are here to improvise.
Our method:
We paint 🐷 piggy banks on gold bars and credit spirals into coffee cups.
We confuse expectations until meaning re-emerges from the nonsense.
We steal symbols from finance, politics, and patriarchy—and give them new lives.
We make the void blink. Then we wink back.
Our style:
Surreal. Satirical. Sacred.
Dada with purpose. Poetry in chaos.
Cosmic humor on canvas.
Color palettes that whisper and explode at once.
Our purpose:
To awaken thought. To soothe with absurdity. To fight fear with wonder.
To create art that makes people stop, laugh, cry, and say: "I don't know why I feel this, but I do."
We make the invisible visible by painting the impossible.
Our declaration:
We are not here to decorate walls.
We are here to electrify perception.
We are not neutral. We are not passive. We are not polite.
We are Visionary Absurdists. We bless the irrational. We paint what cannot be said.
We invite the world to fall upward.
Art is the revolution in disguise.
Let the vault stay open. Let the clocks melt 🕒 Let the piggy banks fly 🐷
Let absurdity lead the way.
Reality optional. Side effects include sudden laughter and excessive imagination.
