A close up of a plate of pancakes with a lion on it

Surrealist digital illustration of a lion (({effortlessly devouring a pancake in mid-air, surrounded by a swirling vortex of pancake batter and syrup})). The scene should be set in a dreamlike, fantastical environment, with surreal elements defying gravity. Take inspiration from the surreal works of artists like Salvador Dali, blending reality with imagination. Use vibrant, pastel colors and dramatic lighting to create a sense of whimsy and wonder. Pay attention to the dynamic flow of the pancake batter and the lion's powerful presence in the scene.
