A grotesque surreal oil painting of a New Year's card. A monster hangs from the ceiling over screaming people, a skull-faced creature, and an old woman watching TV in a Soviet-era room. Text says "HAPPY NEW YEAR!"

A grotesque surreal oil painting, depicted as a vintage-style greeting card. The disturbing scene is set within a cluttered Soviet-era bedroom. Key elements include: a monster hanging from the ceiling near a window with heavy red curtains. In the center, two people are struggling: one in a striped shirt, and the other wearing underwear with a red polka dot print. A hunched, skull-faced creature is nearby, and an old woman in a red headscarf looks on with a remote control. The walls have patterned wallpaper, a traditional Persian rug hangs prominently, and a vintage TV with rabbit ears is in the corner. Snow outside the window, with a visible domed church. The mood is unsettling, darkly humorous, and absurd, characteristic of post-Soviet surrealism. At the bottom of the image, in vintage style golden letters, the text "HAPPY NEW YEAR!" is prominently displayed. See more
