3712 "Cat" (2020) Original Oil Painting by Evgenia Saré

In "Cat" I wanted to capture the whimsical and surreal nature of a circus act frozen in time. The painting depicts an ethereal, unicorn-like cat, dressed in a vibrant blue tunic, caught in the mid-leap of a performance. It is passing through a hoop held by a mysterious, gloved hand, while simultaneously playing a small, circular horn.

This piece is a study of balance, performance, and the uncanny. The cat itself possesses a human-like, melancholic expression that contrasts with its fantastical appearance, bridging the gap between the animal and the surreal. The background is a dense, moody floral tapestry that serves to isolate the performer, making the scene feel like a forgotten memory or a dream from a vintage stage play. With "Cat" I invite you into a world where the lines between the performer and the performance, the creature and the human, are beautifully blurred.
