The Brisbane-born actor, 26, posted a photo of the oil painting, which shows a shirtless Jacob flexing his muscles in a pair of jeans, on Instagram on Wednesday.

The abstract piece is a unique interpretation of Jacob.

His body is disproportionate, with a long neck, thin arms and a very slender stomach.

Many of Elordi’s followers quickly took to the comments section to share their thoughts on the artwork.

‘Bruh, what the fuck is this?’ one confused follower asked, while a second person added: “I don’t know what this is but I love you.”

‘Incredibly detailed and revealing work of art that has a well-deserved place in the esteemed Archibald Prize!’ one person gushed, while a second added: “It’s amazing.”

The two-time Archibald finalist captioned it with a quote from French philosopher Albert Camus: “A man who has become aware of the absurd is bound to it forever.”

The oil on linen portrait is titled “A Lucid Heart: The Golden Age of Jacob Elordi” and is on display at the Art Gallery of New South Wales.

“The theme and title of the painting arise from Albert Camus’ ‘The Myth of Sisyphus’, which Jacob was reading at the time of our session,” Zilinsky told Daily Mail Australia.

‘My only interest was to see the man who was sitting in front of me and he in turn to see himself at work. Sometimes it is necessary to transcend reality to achieve it.’

The modernist painter has drawn many abstract portraits of famous people throughout her career, including Donald Trump and North Korean Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un.

Elordi began his career in 2018 appearing in the Australian films Swinging Safari and The Very Excellent Mr Dundee.

He moved to Los Angeles several years later after being cast in the popular American teen drama Euphoria.
