They say the eyes are the windows to the soul—but what if the soul forgot how to look back?
“Egg Eyes” is a hypnotic work from Peter Bogdanov’s visceral Live Painting Series, where each piece is performed in front of a live audience in a single, unedited burst of creation. Born in the crucible of performance and intuition, this painting delivers both shock and mystery in equal measure.
At its center is a figure that defies easy explanation—part humanoid, part hallucination. Its most unsettling feature: two stark, egg-shaped eyes, bulging and lidless, white as bone and empty as silence. There's no warmth here. No gaze. Just a surreal confrontation with something that sees everything… or nothing at all.
Painted in muted bone tones, misty shadows, and touches of dirty gold, the face seems to rise from fog or decay—like something halfway resurrected. The background blurs into dreamlike haze, giving the piece a floating, otherworldly feel, as if it emerged not from canvas but from the subconscious itself. It’s the kind of image you’re not sure you saw… until it follows you into sleep.
Some viewers say the eyes are eggs. Others see ancient camera lenses, or alien sentinels. But one old fan in the crowd whispered, “Those eyes remember something we forgot.” That’s the nature of live painting—it doesn’t wait for you to figure it out. It simply arrives.
Whether a spirit, a mutation, or a forgotten god, “Egg Eyes” is a powerful meditation on identity, distortion, and what we fear seeing in ourselves.
