(Inferred from Artwork assessed by AI): Based on the themes and style presented in Angoisseurs, the artist behind this work appears to engage deeply with surrealist and symbolic motifs, often focusing on the human psyche, emotional tension, and existential themes. The central figure's intense, introspective pose, along with the references to desire and identity, suggest that the artist is interested in exploring complex psychological states and human vulnerability. The use of French phrases, like "Le désir attrapé par la queue" and "Les mamelles de Tirésias", ties the artwork to broader themes in French surrealism and literature, possibly reflecting influences from early 20th-century surrealist writers and artists.

The intricate layering of mixed media, combined with vivid colours and expressive figures, highlights the artist's skill in creating a visually and emotionally layered narrative. This approach is typical of surrealist collage artists who seek to represent the subconscious mind and inner conflicts.

The artist's choice of collage and crayon suggests a desire to break traditional boundaries in art, embracing mixed media to add texture and depth. This may indicate a background or influence in the avant-garde and surrealist movements of the 20th century, positioning the work as both visually engaging and thematically rich.

While specific information about the artist remains unclear, the artwork itself reflects a sophisticated understanding of surrealist techniques and an introspective approach to art that speaks to universal themes of desire, identity, and transformation.
