In a written statement, Landa detailed his intentions behind these works:
“I believe that art should evoke strong emotions from the viewer. I layer my paintings and drawings in mysterious imagery, inviting the viewer to enter the realm of dreamlike surreality. Since surrealism in art is the practice of creating fantastic or incongruous imagery by means of unusual combinations, it is no surprise that disparate elements appearing together is the rule. The end result should make the work somehow accessible. I challenge the viewer to look at my paintings and come up with their own interpretations, based on their own perceptions of the world we live in.”
