Original artwork description:

744 - The Solitude of Canned Animals COW

The Solitude of the Canned Animals is a series painted with acrylic colors and pastels on canvas. The pictorial language recalls the surrealist cartoon and pop style. The subjects are different animals, each in the solitude of his box.

Looking at the drawing of the grazing cow on a can of tinned meat, I was surprised by the obvious thought that that box kept the remains of an animal, like a kind of small sarcophagus or a funeral urn.
And I thought that even those little spoils stolen from their world and life, locked up in the darkness of a jar, perhaps on a supermarket shelf, deserved to be celebrated with a little consideration and compassion.

Materials used:

Canvas acrylic paint, coloured pencils, coloured chalks
