The character starts out in Van Gogh's "Room at Arles", Then goes to Salvador Dali's "Archaeological Reminiscence of Millet's Angelus", then journeys' onward to Salvador Dali's "Persistence of Memory", gets lost in M.C. Esher's "Crazy Stairs" and jumps off to Picasso's most known and remarkable WWII painting "Guernica"
Wonderfully imaginative. It's almost a metaphor for Picasso's progression in his work. Going through different stages, being frustrated with all forms of art and settling on his own, personal style. And he died doing that style. The Character comes from a violent painting hence his urge to destroy what is beautiful, represented by the butterfly but he resists. The stress, the confusion becomes overwhelming to the point of suicide in which he finds his place.
